BEING WITH – the Axis Syllabus

BEING WITH is a Movement Intensive for cultivating creativity and felt-sense awareness in our moving bodies. It is open to people from any discipline or field of creative practice. The only requirement is a curiosity and willingness to BE WITH movement, exploration, information, and togetherness ~

Delve into a weekend of weaving INTERCONNECTIVITY and RELATIONALITY in movement and dance.

Join this immersive dance experience of embodied investigation guided by two professional Dance artists and Certified Axis Syllabus Teachers: Claire Turner Reid and Kerwin Barrington.

Together, we will engage with the landscape of our moving beings as we:

✦ Explore PATTERNS, RHYTHM, VARIATION, and FRACTALS

✦ Build FELT-SENSE RESPONSIVENESS, AWARENESS, and TRUST

✦ Enliven PERCEPTION through REPETITION and IMPROVISED SCORES

✦ Investigate ANATOMICAL and PHYSICS-BASED relationships through discussion, touch-feedback, movement, and rhythm.

✦ Dance RHYTHMICAL PATTERNS as tools for sensing ALIGNMENT, GROOVE, and JOY

 

What is The Axis Syllabus©?

The Axis Syllabus© is a collection of information relevant to the human body in motion. This information can be applied to any context of movement. It is an effort towards empowered self-sovereignty and informed choice-making with our bodies. Begun and authored by Frey Faust, with contributions from members of the Axis Syllabus Research Meshwork, the information is reviewed and updated based on emerging, evolving understanding and research related to the moving body.
