	Biomechanics
		Biomechanics is the science concerned with the internal and external forces acting on the human body and the effects produced by these forces.
		Kinematics is the branch of biomechanics concerned with the study of movement with reference to the amount of time taken to carry out the activity.
		In biomechanics, the body is seen as the 'system' so any force exerted by one part of the system on another is known as an internal force all other forces are external.

	MeyerholdWorks Physical Theatre - Meyerhold's Biomechanics (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Biomechanics is an approach to actor training and to theatre developed by Russian actor, director and teacher, Vsevolod Meyerhold during the 1920’ and 1930’s.
		Probably the most striking thing about training in Biomechanics is the degree of integration between "purely" physical training and the application of that physical work to concerns specific to acting.
		As a result, Biomechanics provides the student with a concrete methodology for addressing-physically and through action-issues of acting that are almost universally regarded as fundamental in the Western tradition since Stanislavski.
