After many experiences as a dancer and a choreographer, and Breakdance,[2] a dance book written with William Watkins in 1984, he has founded the Franklin-Method Institute[3] in Uster, Switzerland.

Extended from the dance field to every kind of human movement, this method combines dynamic science-based imagery, touch, anatomical embodiment, and educational skills.

[14] In every moment, the ideal combination of limbs, joints, gravity, moving parts, connective tissue, and muscles must be found and directed by the brain and nervous system by help of appropriate imagery.

The method is taught all over the world, including the Universities of Vienna, Cologne, Karlsruhe, The Boston Conservatory and the Juilliard School in New York City.

[17][18][19] Eric Franklin is author of 18 books, mainly in the mind/body field, which have been written in German[20] and English and translated into French,[21] Italian,[22] Spanish,[23] Czech,[24] Dutch,[25] Chinese,[26] Japanese[27] and Korean.
