Directing Circularity – From the Personal to the Collective Unity
The first part of the workshop proposes a dynamic collective warm up drawing from sports science techniques that focus on co-ordination, agility and stamina that refine all-around availability for a multitude of movement potentials. Progressively elements from techniques such as Cunningham and Release will be introduced to consider the function of the spine as a circular tool that can provide efficiency, circular direction in space and a wider range of risk taking motion. During the second part of the workshop the theme of circularity as movement potential will be considered, developed and channeled through task based improvisations alone and within a group.
The proposed framework for strengthening and discovering the body will evolve throughout the workshop week in a playful and creative environment that allow modes/habits of movement to give way to mental and physical availability/curiosity.
Observations and proposals in the course of the workshop period will accompany and encourage constructive feedback sessions. The workshop would end with an informal open sharing welcoming outside feelings and viewpoints.
