Description

The workshop centers around release, partnering and soft acrobatics. Informed by Qi-gong and Capoeira, it proposes a journey from stillness and emptiness to virtuosity and flow. We move with an approach which binds together risk, availability, and playfulness. We begin with grounding and emptying work. Employing techniques and patterns from inner martial arts, we reform a connection with our breath an engine, using simple waving and spiralling sequences to soften and expand. With the help of a partner we explore pulling and pushing hands, mobilizing our spine through three movement centers: hips, torso and head. We practice the availability of the body to follow and guide, as well as to ground and absorb. We conclude with floor-work, isolation and soft acrobatics. With clear and sustainable tools, we practice going in and out of the floor, following the principle of head-tail and the liberation of the spine.
