At this unique intersection of physical languages, a fruitful confrontational and cooperative ground is formed to sustain the development and cultivation of every aspect of our practice. Topics to be tackled:

  • Falling and rolling - basic biomechanics and supportive techniques

  • Biotensegrity and intrinsic power of human bodies
  • Vulnerability as a form of strength
