One of the more enlivening ways for me to move with the trees is to simply run through the woods, meeting obstacles as challenges to dance with rather than fight (although fights do break out 😆). The Move With The Trees workshop I try to run monthly now, focuses on the various ways I love to have dialogue with trees - movement co-created between body and environment and it’s a conversation I love to share with others.
Practicing a line
The currency of discipline
Speed tools: 5 simple swinging coordinations
Body to Object practice
Zero forms and practice ball
Arboreal locomotion: clinging and bridging
Clinging and bridging is one of the 5 forms of Arboreal Locomotion we categorise at @evolvemoveplay / @rafekelley. For me, it is a useful one to emphasis, not just for the perhaps obvious movement practice benefits but for the availability.
