Momentum walks: 'Low-ceiling' and 'Gait-pivots'

THE WHAT:
The 'Low-ceiling walk' and 'Gait-pivots' are two methods for generating momentum between ground-acrobatic movements. The 'Low-ceiling' achieves this by maintaining a perpetually low-position - knees slightly flexed - which both brings the body closer to the floor to facilitating entrance.
Consistently "passing" weight from step-to-step with the quality of "pouring the water" in a near off-axis & out of balance position, this mean that there is NEVER any stopping and NEVER any feeling of being statically supported ('zero-point'). Rather, the sensation is of constantly "falling", ready to receive oneself into the floor with the hands.
The 'Gait-pivots' vocabulary generates momentum through its circular-trajectories in which force is both generated & transmitted. The different position also give immediate access to different "levels in space" from where ground-acrobatic patterns can be entered.
Both can be seen in light of simply "driving the car", the two concepts which can serve as the momentum-generating "glue" to connect pieces of ground acrobatics.

Bringing fundamental 'Groundwork' patterns back into a simple, embodied expression of “just moving”, where complexity is reduced to continuity, rhythm, and directional change. As technical vocabulary develops, it is periodically returned to this level so that what remains is only what i...
