In this workshop, aimed at the general public, with or without experience of movement practices, participants will have the opportunity to access information about Axis Syllabus, by the creator / inventor of this vocabulary, which is based on the harmonization of the alignment of the whole body.

The AS is a compendium of information about the human body in motion, from various resources such as anatomy, biomechanics, medicine, psychology, social ethics, philosophy and the arts.

Frey Faust felt there was a need to find a way to bridge the information from these relevant sciences

to various practices and disciplines, concerned with preparing or training the body.

The AS is a practical and easy to understand diagnostic tool, which helps those who use it to move better with less injury, suggesting a preventative approach to building skill, strength and flexibility,

a potential plus for all human activity. The AS lists and compares current knowledge of past and present methods and scientific information, and could therefore support an inclusive, embracing spirit, towards the range of human activity.

In an Axis Syllabus class or workshop, the information becomes meaningful through countless approaches to physical inquiry and integration. The intention is to understand and collaborate with

the human structure inherited through thousands of years of evolution.

Understanding and respecting the properties of the body's structure,

we can evaluate our choices for efficiency and functionality.

The information is often passed on through dance, though it is relevant to anyone in a body. As such, Axis Syllabus classes can also be adapted to walkings, movement for elders, kids classes, aerial disciplines, horse-riding, contact improvisation, capoeira, and countless other disciplines. Practitioners have created hybrid workshops, bringing insights from the Axis Syllabus into dialogue with Feldenkrais®, Body-Mind Centering®, Somatic Experiencing®, Anatomy Trains®, cranio-sacral therapy, and many more.

INFORMAL PERFORMANCE PROJECT

ALMOST SOMA ARE WE – the body as living poetry

This project is the result of the work developed by the workshop participants. It will be an opportunity

to bring into the public space,

to share with the passers-by, the result of a set of experiences of movement, experienced by the participants during the workshop. Frey Faust will direct a tour through some of Faro's streets,

starting in CAPa, similar to the site specific "dancing the city #Faro", developed by the choreographer

Cosmin Manolescu, included in the program of this festival’s last edition, a very rewarding experience for the participants, and an impact event for the city's public.                                                                         + more
