The dance, ritual and discourse of this series begins in the multi-dimensional and undulating spine. The spine in constant flu is a wise receptor and transmitter of information and forces.  We will work towards the cultivation of subtle articulate and deep sensing spine. A spine which virtuously distributes and recycles kinetic impact through itself, into pelvis, periphery and space.  Continuous flow and sophisticated phrases will highlight the effect, function and healthy use of the dynamic spine.  The practice of endurance will accompany this Axis Syllabus two-weekend series accessing light trance and meditative states as learning tools.
