Material For the Spine concentrates accumulated knowledges from Paxton’s study of walking, Contact Improvisation and Aikido practice to explore the movement possibilities in the spine and the connections between the head, pelvis, and vertebrae. “With Material For the Spine, I was interested in alloying a technical approach to improvisational results.

These patterns, which emerge in human development, parallel the evolutionary progression of movement across the animal kingdom. Body-Mind Centering® is an embodied approach to movement and consciousness…
