AXIS SYLLABUS
movement training intensive
May 28
-
June 5th
welcome...
We are, Kira and Antoine, new members of the community around Lake Studios, an artist run performance, residence and workshop space and we are exited to invite you to 9 days of focused immersion into training and exploring within the Axis Syllabus research fields for movement technique, partnering and contact improvisation.
This time we have invited Francesca Pedulla who is also an Axis Syllabus teacher, and who contributed years of research and analysis of traditional african dances to the AScommunity and Jörg Hassmann, well known and beloved teacher in the contact improvisation world, to join us. Their teaching and eternal curiosity inspire us deeply and we have collaborated, taught and researched together on many occasions. In phase 1 we will be joined by Johannes Anzenhofer, a sensitive and creative musician, who we just met recently and we could invite last minute to this event.
The result will be a rich and intensive program. We hope that the sessions entangle, nourish and complement each other. In some evenings we will gather for Jams,a theory night or provide open studio space for experiments and spontaneous performance.
Lake Studios offer big and light filled spaces in a calm and charming neighbourhood surrounded by nature. The vibrant metropolitan heart of Berlin is just 45min away by public transport.
Further we look forward to rest in the garden in between sessions, take you on a bike tour to small venice, dipping our toes in the lake, walking in the forest and enjoying each other.
We like to create a space and atmosphere where we feel comfortable to study, practice, reflect and take pleasure in being challenged.
Come and join us!

The Axis Syllabus is a way of experiencing or practicing movement, a tool for teaching and the commitment to research, question and ongoing study. We are curious in the ability to create awareness in every instant of a movement without taking dynamic or the joy of dancing out of the equation. The ability to perceive a moment in more and more increments while moving, capturing minute detail and being aware of simultaneous actions happening in the body while adapting swiftly and creatively to changing external conditions. This connection between careful analysis and the pleasure of moving, dancing, improvising is what brings us together. It might be a key towards intrinsic motivation and deep learning. In adding different layers, perspectives and histories we aim to provoke an autonomous as well as collective inquiry and a possible (re-)connecting to the meaning of sharing and celebrating space and movement together.
