Phrase work for technique class :)



This phrase was fresh in my memory from learning it in the morning. This is a video of me just working through it, working out the flow of movements

Contact with hands and feet

In experiental anatomy, we focused on moving through the floor through the hands and feet. We had a score of just moving across the floor in one direction, starting to move standing and gradually working your way to the floor and with this, I decided as a personal goal to focus on keeping my feet and my hands particularly grounded. It is an awful habit of mine to overbend on the pads of my hands and cause unnecessary tension in my wrists, which always leaves my wrists aching afterwards. http://www.footelastic.com/index.php?p=1_13_Your-Feet-Are-Miracle-Of-Nature I found that I like to move rapidly across the floor but actually, whilst slowing down I got all the benefit out of it, as the slower I went on my own, the more fluid and diverse my movements were across the floor. We then carried this score out in partners and, again, this made all the difference in the fact that the self consciousness of what I was doing went completely out of my head and i...

Task 1: Learning about the Arthrometric model was interesting for me, I tended to notice what movement was coming from my hips and shoulders in the central zone. When running around the room, I was practising articulating my feet (using my metatarsals, hinge joint) and the gliding joints in my feet. I find that knowing the terminology for different parts of your body helps to image them when moving. I didn't fully know what to notice or understand the purpose. Learning about the radial symmetry was informative, ie; elbows and knees are biaxial, cannot alter direction but can offer full range in movement, and the joints from the knees to the ankles are triaxial, as are joints from elbow to hand. It's quite complicated and would take a few physical exercises of exploration, to fully grasp .
