C-Star Field
floor work fundamentals
Axis Syllabus-universal motor principles

The AS-ump™ is an inertia and weight-distribution analysis system that can be applied to any human body in any situation. Movement patterns are examined according to the following criteria: observance of healthy parameters for joint and muscle-function, logical falling and walking reflexes and most importantly the conservation of kinetic energy.
The C-Star is the most basic falling study in the AS vocabulary. Through the study the student will be able to transform the floor from a dangerous obstacle to a trampoline, allowing for less inhibition when learning more demanding or risky movements. The C-Star develops all-round support, stretches and strengthens the rotators of the hip and stabilizers of the knees.



Frey Faust
Frey Faust was given direction, discipline and the chance to develop a passion for his chosen muse by his mother, Shekhinah Mountainwater, a known author and leading figure in the women’s spiritual movement of America. He worked under her direction from age 8 to age 15, performing as a pantomime-dancer-actor in all manner of circumstances, from the street to the theatre. Nita Little, co-creator of Contact Improvisation, initiated him to its liberating concepts at the age of 14. At Marcel Marceau’s invitation he then went to Paris to study at the former’s Écôle de Mimodrame for one year. Afterwards, he returned to California to pursue his personal education through the practice of Afro-Haitian dance, Aikido, Capoeira and Percussion. In 1980, he decided to try his luck in New York. Ten years later, having worked with some of the best of the NY movers and shakers such as David Parsons, Donald Byrd, Randy Warshaw, Gina Buntz, Ohad Naharin, Meredith Monk, Merce Cunningham and Stephen Petronio, he was granted the opportunity to be the artist in residence at the Werkstatt, Düsseldorf, Germany for two years (now the Tanzhaus NRW). There he was able, with the support of the German government, to create six solos and three evening-length works and to begin the consolidation of his pedagogical ideas. He is the author of the book and the originator of the "Axis Syllabus-universal motor principles, a method for teaching movement" through which he aspires to assist his students to deepen their understanding and use of nature's gift to us.
