Moving with Purpose. In this workshop we will first build tools to access the widest sphere of our physical reach in space. Harnessing the potential forces of gravity, coil, momentum and drifting we will find physical efficiency and build complex sequences to trick our balance and disorientate our expectations. After establishing our broadest physical availability we will challenge ourselves to apply our skills both new and old in unfamiliar directions.
