Spiral Weekend

Spiral Weekend is a playful and athletic workshop intensive led by Sebastian Grubb and Shira Yaziv. We blend multiple physical modalities and training techniques to help participants improve their movement quality, learn new skills, and connect with others.

Class Descriptions

BodyWAGGING: Axis Syllabus / Dance

In this class we'll apply information from biomechanics and functional anatomy to movement phrases. We'll study support architecture in a variety of postures and sequences, developing our ability to integrate the whole body for fluid movement.

Acrobatic Flow: Movement Exploration

This class combines acrobatic maneuvers, floor-based flow dancing and handstands. We’ll work with strategies for loading hands/wrists, accessing your 'backspace', and generating power for quick twitch action.

AGILE BEAST: Social Animals

As human primates, we evolved with specific movement patterns that shaped our bodies, reflexes and coordinations. Together we'll crawl, climb, jump and more. And we'll provide helpful resistance for each other to develop strength with interactive exercises and a variety of movement challenges.

Contact Improvisation & Movement Games

These sessions focuses on foundational CI techniques and partnering strategies, taught in a playful and engaging way. Participants will develop their skills and abilities through contact-based exercises that lead to exciting dances and apply what we have studied in the other classes.
