Material for the Spine

On Material for the spine - the work of Steve Paxton
this workshop will facilitate Steve Paxton's "Material for the Spine" by "alloying a technical approach to the process of improvisation." Paxton's system for exploring the interior and exterior muscles of the back...." aims to bring consciousness to the dark side of the body, that is, the 'other' side or the inside, those sides not much self-seen, and to submit sensations from them to the mind for consideration."
Material for the spine ~In 1986 dancer Steve Paxton began examining the spine he had observed in the practice of Contact Improvisation, a duet movement form he had instigated in 1972. The system of MFS is a meditative study of spinal and pelvic movement initiations combining a technical approach with an improvisational process.
