BEING WITH – the Axis Syllabus

BEING WITH is a Movement Intensive guided by two professional Dance artists and certified Axis Syllabus Teachers: Claire Turner Reid and Kerwin Barrington

It is open to all movers from any practice ~ no particular experience necessary! The only requirement is a curiosity and willingness to BE WITH movement, exploration, information, and togetherness ~

Join this immersive dance experience of embodied investigation. Delve into a weekend of weaving intimacy and interconnectivity in movement and dance.

Together we will explore, feeling the landscape of our moving selves as we:

✦ Change orientation, level, tonus, and weight distribution

✦ Build FELT-SENSE RESPONSIVENESS, AWARENESS and TRUST in the moving body

✦ Enliven PERCEPTION through PLAY and IMPROVISED SCORES

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

Informed by the Axis Syllabus© we will investigate anatomical and physics-based relationships through discussion, touch, movement, rhythm, and play.

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.
