Movement Archery

We don’t teach partnering moves too often. Our practice is more based games, improvisations and principles. But moves can be a great way to test how different ideas are being distilled into something condensed, positively challenging and fun.

In advanced moves, when risk is involved, the most important is the principle of Call - Response. This is the same principle that musicians use when they jam together.

The base needs to begin with an invitation, the minimum amount of force and aa clear direction.
The flyer waits patiently to feel the invitation in their body and then follow the proposed direction.
Anticipation of either part will collapse the spiral before it fully manifests.

Good partnering is not about strength or mobility. It’s about listening and staying available and attentive to the motion of another body. The more complex the move becomes, the more important it is to simplify the communication behind.

The goal of our online library is to provide high quality movement education. Our new Archery Pass gives an annual access for all of our courses, including warm up, soft acrobatics, spinal movement, improvisation and more.
