Profitraining und Modern

This class takes you through a series of exercises based on the study of physics and human movement. We break down movement to it's essence; Flow, Throw, Put, Fall, Carry. We define each of these principals through improvisation and directly apply it to a given technical exercise and to the combination. We work with the bodies weight and nerve systems: defining where a movement impulse starts and how can we repeat it. We build a strong and flexible technique that allows us to master any movement challenge with the analytical power of a scientist and the intuition of an animal.
