Nuria Bowart:


Nuria will be teaching around two main units:


LOGICAL PROGRESSIONS: A FOCUS ON FUNDAMENTALS
This class is designed to present the basic concepts of landing and launching pads as is defined within the Axis Syllabus.  The Axis Syllabus is a body of research relevant to dynamic movement.  This class will provide a clear mapping of soft tissue logic for entering and exiting a surface, wether it be a floor or another moving body.  We will also practice some spiraling pathways useful for greater ease while changing levels.  Tired of all those bruises from that hard floor when you land? Come and practice alternatives.

THE C-STARS WILL BE FALLING: ACCELERATED PATHWAYS THROUGH THE FLOOR
Falling off our center of gravity allows for us to harness our potential energy and to take a ride on the force of gravity.  This class will elaborate on the concept of chronological architecture as it relates to moving in and out of the floor and one another in dynamic ways. The arms and the legs are useful to propel, absorb and pivot around.  Acceleration happens, and can be ridden.  In this class we will practice riding this bodyform safely and efficiently through the energy of a fall. Using some basic movement patterns, such as C-Star, offered through the Axis Syllabus, to help us to better understand useful mechanics for falling.  While in this class, the main partner will be the floor, we will be practicing many of the patterns in partners and groups as well.

Interwoven:
A Workshop in Axis Syllabus and Contact Improvisation
by Daniel Bear Davis

The Axis Syllabus offers a groundswell of relevant and specific information into healthy movement habits for moving humans living in a dynamic world. In this dance workshop, we will look at details of our own anatomy, refined over thousands of years of evolution, to gain clues about how to move in collaboration with our own fascinating design. As we grow in our kinetic potential, we can meet our dance partners with increased access to range and choice. This workshop will weave explorations of healthy and creative relationships between the many parts of our selves, with other humans in partner dancing, and within larger networks. 

We will identify boundaries and limitations as building blocks of resilience. We will explore ourselves and our shared dances as tensegrity structures, cultivating out integrity through tensile resistance. We will investigate the self within interconnected networks and interconnectivity within the self. And we’ll do a whole lot of dancing.

Location: Center For Art and Spirit & Veda Studios!
