opEn BAcK
the function of the vertebral column
is to link the upper back with the lower
back and act as a flexible belt that can
transmit forces exerted on the body.
a healthy back is one that is flexible,
from which, it derives its strength.
lengthening of the spine is a stretch at
both ends: head and coccyx lengthen
in opposite directions. We can imagine
a weight pulling down our pelvis, and
being hung from our heads.
in order to go up, open and lengthen
the back we use the force of the weight
and pressure which automatically
makes the spine get longer, as a reaction
to these forces.
GrAVIty
it is a natural force utilised during movement
instead of opposing resistance so
that the body can let go of unnecessary
tension and work with deep muscles,
anchor to the ground and find its centre.
WEIGht trAnsFEr
it is the transfer of body weight from one
base of support to the other using gravity.
BAsE oF support
Part of the body that exerts pressure on
a surface which gives resistance, either
the ground or the wheel.
DIrEctIon
the intention of the movement is defined
by its origin and direction. the directions
in space are infinite and using them
with awareness defines the movement
within space and helps the spectator to
interpret it.
trAJEctory oF A BoDy pArt
a trajectory goes from one starting point
to a point of arrival within space,
of either one or several body parts.
VIsuALIsAtIon
it means imagining a line of movement in
all its texture and position in space in as
much detail as possible, without actually
doing the movement.
