NAVIGATING THE VARIOUS ELEMENTS OF A PRACTICE
MICROBATICS & AGILITY
This workshop explores ongoing research into Microbatics & Agility, two interconnected themes that will develop progressively throughout the sessions.
The acrobatic practice focuses on approaching inversions in a sustainable, holistic way, shaped by past setbacks and injuries that led to adaptations in training methodologies. The goal works towards integrating acrobatics into one’s movement vocabulary, blurring the line between structured technique and improvisation.
The second focus, Agility, examines balance, coordination, endurance, speed, meditation, and strength. Where we emphasize the relationship between learning and failure, deliberately inviting failure as a tool for growth and understanding.
Ultimately, this workshop aims to develop an adaptive, all-around mover—a “Hybrid Mover” capable of navigating dynamic cognitive and physical challenges. Drawing from neuroscience, martial arts, dance, acrobatics, meditation, locomotion, and partnering, we will explore both established and experimental movement practices.
