the function of the vertebral column<br />
is to link the upper back with the lower<br />
back and act as a flexible belt that can<br />
transmit forces exerted on the body.<br />
a healthy back is one that is flexible,<br />
from which, it derives its strength.<br />
lengthening of the spine is a stretch at<br />
both ends: head and coccyx lengthen<br />
in opposite directions. We can imagine<br />
a weight pulling down our pelvis, and<br />
being hung from our heads.<br />
in order to go up, open and lengthen<br />
the back we use the force of the weight<br />
and pressure which automatically<br />
makes the spine get longer, as a reaction<br />
to these forces.<br />
GrAVIty<br />
it is a natural force utilised during movement<br />
instead of opposing resistance so<br />
that the body can let go of unnecessary<br />
tension and work with deep muscles,<br />
anchor to the ground and find its centre.<br />

it is the transfer of body weight from one<br />
base of support to the other using gravity.<br />
BAsE oF support<br />
Part of the body that exerts pressure on<br />
a surface which gives resistance, either<br />
the ground or the wheel.<br />
DIrEctIon<br />
the intention of the movement is defined<br />
by its origin and direction. the directions<br />
in space are infinite and using them<br />
with awareness defines the movement<br />
within space and helps the spectator to<br />
interpret it.<br />
trAJEctory oF A BoDy pArt<br />
a trajectory goes from one starting point<br />
to a point of arrival within space,<br />
of either one or several body parts.<br />
VIsuALIsAtIon<br />
it means imagining a line of movement in<br />
all its texture and position in space in as<br />
much detail as possible, without actually<br />
doing the movement.<br />
