Grace and Anatomy

I'm not sure how useful it is to study anatomy. If anatomical knowledge was directly connected to moving well anatomists would be the best movers. Great athletes and performers clearly "know" something about moving effectively but I'm not convinced that you can find that knowledge in an anatomy text. Good use certainly involves good mechanics but, in the final analysis, I think that ease, power and grace happen as the result of allowing your deep intelligence to respond in it's own way to the capricious spirit of the movement of this moment.
