The 'Travelling A & B'
Floor-contact locomotion & transitions
•
2m 11s
THE WHAT & HOW:
The 'Travelling A & B' makes use of experience built with static '90-90' variations & transitions, connecting them in cyclical patterns to take the body locomoting through space in floor-contact. As such, they play between the worlds of seated (floor-contact) and kneeling, the latter of which becomes more apparent in the ‘Travelling B’ which goes through two distinctly different kneeling transitions on each leg during its execution.
As the world of kneeling is one level closer to the world of the squat, remembering that the ’90-90’ form offers this potential to transition into bipedal opens up a convenient link between these two locomotive levels.

Prone quadruped to lateral floor-roll
THE WHAT:
A transitional pattern facilitating movement in and out of the floor from a quadruped position to floor-contact. The main work here is developing the structural awareness & patterning (notably the “folding” of the arm to bring the body closer to and enter the floor and coordination of t... -

THE WHAT:
