Description

BODY ECONOMY AND AWARENESS THROUGH WHIRLING

Warming up with stretching & breathing
Awareness with body part & upside dawn exercises, basic acrobatics & improvisation
Whirling, spinning & rolling in different forms & levels



Workshop Outline
Aims and Objectives:

This workshop suggests a space for the participants where they can deal with their limits
through whirling, stimulate their ability for the thrift of bodily energy, and through these
abilities reach their goal movement within their own genre, spending less energy, with a higher
level of awareness.

Whirling is not the main goal of this workshop. The greater goal is to improve one’s physical,
emotional and mental awareness through whirling and the exercises prior to that. It leads the
participants to perceive and accept what is befalling throughout whirling, and reach an
innovative movement by means of whirling.

Methodology:

The workshop consists of following steps:

• Warm up: stretching and breathing in order to enhance concentration preparing the
body and mind to gain strength to push mental and physical limits.

• Awareness: This step includes floor work, body part & upside dawn exercises, basic
acrobatics and improvisation in various levels. It aims to strength the awareness of
senses and systems in preparation for meeting the unknown arrangements to be
encountered while whirling.

• Whirling: Further developments of physical, emotional and mental awareness are to be
obtained in this step. Whirling first starts at the vertical level. At the further steps
repetitive movements are to be experienced at both vertical and horizontal levels. This
step helps the participants to feel and record the conditions of their perception of space
and body; thus the awareness improves. This is a step where the participants in various
aspects confront conditions that are not usual or accustomed. By accepting the
unknown, the knowledge concerning awareness and ability for the thrift of bodily energy
will expand.
