Rooted in Motion — Module 2: Spine & Spirals

About this event
The spine is an endless source of research, fascination, & discovery. We will study how it functions - playing with its ranges of motion & many different movement qualities. We will offer specific movement patterns for optimal spine efficiency. This material facilitates you to open up new possibilities in your own movement, as well as integrating pathways in the body that are useful for entering into contact - principles which help to give 'offerings' & 'invitations' to others. Spirals are everywhere. The whole universe moves in infinite spirals, & the body loves to move this way too. We work with the idea of the Double Helix (DNA strand) - a brilliant image for two spines joining in motion. Spirals are efficient & effective. They can generate power or dissipate energy, build momentum in any plane of motion, & assist with easy transitions between levels. Playing with spirals opens up the many possibilities of multi-directional movement, as well as entering into backspace. The more we research spirals in our dance, the more we find.
