Formation: The Axis Syllabus(c): Dynamic Geometry for the Performing Artist
In essence, the Axis Syllabus (AS) is a holistic system for understanding and practicing movement, rooted in the science of anatomy and biomechanics but with a focus on experiential learning. It provides a solid framework for improving movement efficiency, safety, and long-term physical health, whether one is a professional dancer, artist, or someone simply interested in moving better and more consciously. By teaching an understanding of how the body works, it promotes sustainable and intelligent movement practices. The AS was founded by Frey Faust in the late 90’s.
Content:
The masterclass will address some basic principles of the Axis Syllabus (AS) with practical examples to support specific movement disciplines of interest. The human body plan is a chaotic interweaving of twisting curves and oblique intersections, where there are no clear lines or right angles to be found. Although geometrical simplicity is a prized value for performance, it follows that attempts to force the body to conform to monoplanes and single rotational axes presents the risk of injury. But the good news is, a basic study of anatomy and physics provides cues and clues for maintaining joint integrity when creating resonant geometrical shapes and pathways. Using the AS as a guide to joint centration and coherency, this session will provide a methodological approach to simultaneous geometrical clarity and health conservation. The masterclass is open to dance and movement teachers, performers, advanced students and anyone interested in optimising alignment while researching their desired aesthetics in the performing arts. The masterclass is recognised and validated by the Commissariat à l’Enseignement Musical as a Professional Development Training for the teachers of the conservatoires and UGDA schools.
