The 'Step-behind' integration
Locomotion integration, sequencing & improvisation
•
4m 10s
THE WHAT:
The ‘Step-behind’ is a fundamental integration of two truly foundational bipedal-mobility forms, the ‘Dragon-squat’ and the ‘Pu-bu’. As a short-term project of practice, it represents the classic development of an “exercise” becoming a “movement-pattern”, whereby forms which are initially used to develop and condition movement-range (the ‘Dragon squat’ at the level of “squat-gait”, affecting hip-mobility & functional extension of the big-toes, and the ‘Pu-bu’ at the level of “low-gait”, affecting leg-abduction) are ultimately used as TRANSITIONS with which to move THROUGH space (i.e. locomote).
For practitioners unfamiliar to the forms, they are an introduction to the potential COMPLEXITY which the lower-body can express and move with, opening a doorway into a much wider world of locomotion & more general ‘Floor-communication’ forms.

Dragon -> travelling A -> toe-rock
THE WHAT:
An easily integrated bipedal locomotion pattern which nonetheless requires initial experience, with and development of, the isolated ‘Dragon squat/walk’, ‘Travelling A/90-90’ and ‘Toe-rocking’ contexts.Notably, the entrance from ‘Dragon squat’ into the ’90-90’ position on the floor, f...

Gallop to 'step-behind' sequence
THE WHAT:
A basic sequence between the fundamental 'Gallop' and 'Step-behind' integration. As the latter consists of a dynamic integration between two bipedal forms - the 'Pu-bu' and 'Dragon squat' - there are essentially three isolated patterns coming together in this sequence.This context is ...

Gallop 'insert' to backside (BS) low-...
THE WHAT:
A quadrupedal-to-bipedal locomotion integration combining lateral & rotational movement directions, with the sideways-moving energy of the 'Gallop' transferring through the unwinding of the 'insert' and feeding into the 'Low-gait spin.LEARN MORE (subscriber-only):
