Dynamic Geometry

Dynamic Geometry sound shapes and transitions for movement artists Axis Syllabus-universal motor principles – advanced The AS-ump™ derives its name from the medical orientation system using the axes and planes to describe the body’s dimensions and spatial disposition. An axis is a point around which a joint or motion segment can rotate, as well as a general direction taken. A plane is a surface or cross section, as well a general direction taken. These two concepts describe space and orientation, indicate mass in motion, implying inertia. In both cases, direction implies time and therefore dynamics and ultimately physio-dynamics. Syllabus means a list or table of contents in old Greek. A Syllabus might also be described as an acquired number of skills, a grammar of ability. Thus, the Axis Syllabus-universal motor principles™ can be called the grammar of physio-dynamic 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. This last implies the ability to permit and steer inertia-driven undulations in the body-core, the sequential use of the various body elements for support and locomotion and the application of appropriate alignment to dynamic situations. This workshop for experienced movers will apply the C-Star and the Flight Basics (see other workshop discriptions) in a complex and demanding way. Gradual addition of the motivs to each other will lead to long phrases intertwining the different principles in floor and standing work.
