Fedora Aberastury was born in Chile in 1914. At an early age she moved with her family to Argentina. In Buenos Aires she began her musical education and with it, her relation with the culture of the city. Rich in intellectual life, Buenos Aires of the forties received the great movements that moved the world, presenting to Aberastury questions that would later lead her to develop her System: "Man, its issues, the possibility of representing itself with its truest images".

She married Marcelo Aberastury and from this marriage her only daughter, Gabriela, is born. They travel to New York where Marcelo Aberastury holds a high post in the United Nations. They stay there for more than a decade, while Fedora Aberastury meets outstanding personalities from different fields of creativeness. She works with Edgar Varese in musical composition and analysis. Dancer Erick Hawkins initiates her into old oriental techniques. She inquires into the world of theater and with Erwin Piscator reflects on scenic space and interpretation. She also has access to Wilhelm Reich's revolutionary theories.

But undoubtedly her meeting with Claudio Arrau deeply marked her conception of interpretation. The piano always was the site of the research. Based in Buenos Aires, she created the "Sistema Consciente para la Técnica del Movimiento" (Aberastury Technique), an essential discipline for any artist and for anybody who beyond the arts, consider himself an interpreter of his own life. Fedora Aberastury died in Buenos Aires on July 10th., 1985.

Fedora Aberastury Technique continues developing through her many disciples not only in Argentina, but also in Brazil, Spain, France and Germany where this technique is already well known.
