Falling and Flying! The Axis Syllabus©️ in TORONTO

Fall and Fly through space!
Using the Axis Syllabus we will explore ways to ramp into the floor and back up with ease ~ and perhaps even joy.
Discover the possibilities for your body and mind when you build supported ways to adapt your moving body in various orientations in space.
The Springtime energy at this time of year can sometimes push us to act beyond where we have a solid foundation. Learn how to lay a clear foundation in order to invite potential and adaptability!

This class series invites all ranges of movement experience and is geared to people who are curious to discover deeper connection and relationship with their bodies in motion, particularly through dancing.

Exploring anatomy, biomechanics, and physics, we will use the Axis Syllabus© as our main reference along with investigations with models, our own bodies, and other bodies. We carry and build these investigations into our movement explorations which include floor work, choreographed motifs, improvised scores, and dynamic movement sequencing. We will orient towards clear choice-making, connection, collaboration, and communication in our moving bodies.

These workshops are for you if you wish to:

– increase knowledge of the body, its parts, and how they move together

– deepen your relationship with your own unique anatomy in order to prevent injury, increase movement longevity, and optimize connection and integrity

– develop a greater understanding of biomechanics and physics to maximize joy in everyday movement and in specialized movement fields

– dance, with others, in rhythm
