Enquiring under forms - internal and external adaptations

Francesca’s teaching reflects her ongoing research and application of the anatomically respectful, bio-mechanically functional principles of the Axis Syllabus. It puts focus on the body's complex architecture; how dynamic and how sensitive it can be. How every movement, from structurally supported action to expressive gesture, is the result of continuous adaptations to internal and external conditions. Through the study of biomechanics, musicality and space relationships and collective discussions her workshop gives a structural basis and build a common store of technical references for participants at all levels. In each session, time is dedicated to guided improvisation and creative games for channeling the expressive potential of the individual and collective body which will be picked up and further explored in the set movement phrases.

“... but, the exterior of a living thing, what else is it but the eternal manifestation of the interior? The exterior, or vehicle, is so finely tuned to the internal construct in all its variety and delicate complexity, that it is itself destined to become internalized, because the two qualities of internal and external are in a direct and permanent rapport, whether in a state of repose or virtuosic movement...”
J.W. Goethe
