One day workshop is designed to serve as an introduction and a taste of the toolbox cultivated within the Fighting Monkey Practice. We will be exploring selected tools for physical and cognitive development of a human organism, supporting bodily musicality, elasticity and integrity and cultivating creative communication through work with partners within constantly evolving games.

Practitioners will be provided with suggestions and guidance in the areas of

Zero forms

Structural and kinetic hygiene practices for better performance, life and aging that support our physiological integrity to heal, prevent and diminish future injuries.

The Zero Forms vocabulary is organized around:

-Stillness (observe and locate yourself)

-Joint Articulation (understand your architecture)

-Coordination practice (organize rhythmically and cultivate synergies)

-Improvisation (discover new pathways)

-Voice (sound as you)

We will be cultivating the understanding of the principles of human motion, our own structural composition and developing the overall elasticity and musicality of our bodies.

Movement situations

Obstacle games to test how valid is our knowledge and in various conditions and how creatively adaptive you are in complex situations.

We will be creating a variety of situations to stimulate and train all the systems of our organism, relating our movement to partners, objects and space, and enjoying a playful testing of our learning strategies and tuning our action-perception cycle in a changing, dynamic environment.
