BODY
Cellular and lung respiration, ease in movement, support in full body shaping (Shape Flow Support), Grounding, Mobility, Stability, Rhythm, etc.
What is breath?
The dynamics, qualitative use of energy, texture, color, emotions, inner attitude, etc.
What is effort?
Pin, ball, pyramid, wall, and screw.
What are basic shape forms?
The 3-Dimensional volume of space that I can access with my body without shifting my weight to change my stance.
What is Kinesphere?
Body, Effort, Shape, and Space
What is BESS?
Core Support, Connecting all limbs to core, Clarity in limbs, Connecting from core out to space, whole body connectivity, Sets up Kinetic Chains, etc.
What is Core-Distal?
Flow, Weight, Time, Space.
What are Motion Factors?
Standing tall, arms straight to side, legs together.
What is a pin shape?
Organizes energy and reveals the Kinesphere by radiating out from and coming back into center.
What is Central Space?
Breath, Core-Distal, Head-Tail, Upper-Lower, Body-Half, Cross-Lateral
What is PTBC (Parts of Total Body Connectivity)?
Dynamic Alignment, spinal articulation, level changes, posture, Vertical Throughness, etc.
What is Head-Tail?
Contained, controlled, keeping the inside in and the outside out, can be stopped at any moment, rigid, boundaries, clarity, etc.
What is Bound Flow?
Squatting down, bent knees to chest, arms wrapped around knees, head tucked in.
What is a ball shape?
Organizes energy and reveals the Kinesphere by revealing the edge of the Kinesphere and maintaining a sense of distance between the center and edge.
What is Peripheral Space?
Describes how movement spreads through the body.
What is Body Part Sequencing?
Weight propulsion, Yield & Push to Reach & Pull, Grounding, access to space, locomotion in lower, connecting to the world with upper, HumeralScapular Rhythm, Femoral-Pelvic Rhythm, etc.
What is Upper-Lower?
Multi-focused, over-lapping, roundabout, scanning, taking it all in, expansive, seeing all the possibilities, etc.
What is Indirect Space?
"All about me." Shape change that is self motivated.
What is shape flow?
Organizes energy and reveals the Kinesphere by cutting or sweeping through the Kinesphere between the center and the edge.
What is Transverse Space?
A change in 3 unequal spatial pulls.
What is Transverse Spiraling?
Homolateral movement, brain development, mobility/stability, strengthens spine, supports turns and barrel rolls, ect.
What is Body-Half?
Lingering, drawing out the moment, luxuriate, languidly, adagio, prolonging, leisurely, ―not yet, not now, etc
What is Sustained Time?
Shape change that is environment motivated—molds with the environment. It is co-create, adaptive, 3-dimensional, uses rotary function.
What is carving?
An invisible line of inherent power (potential energy) which can be revealed in movement.
What is spatial pull?
Makes 3D, rotary movement possible, spirals, diagonals through torso, most complex of all the patterns, etc.
What is Cross-Lateral?
