THE WHAT:
Introductory contexts to begin bipedal locomotion along a rail, i.e. 'rail walking'. We start in the sagittal-plane which, whilst the most immediately obvious as it follows our natural gait, alludes to the potential for locomotion in other planes too. As with many 'environmental communication' projects, much of the initial "blockage" to movement here comes through fear which can only be managed through greater exposure.

Fear must, however, be respected, and be sensitively approached by giving time to techniques such as the 'sagittal squat-balance' for entering the balance position. Ultimately, familiarity and confidence will only be embodied in accordance with time spent on the rail - there is no technique or method of approach which can replace this.

Falling rarely occurs as a result of capacity limitations (if you can walk backward & forward on a line without falling, you can do so on a rail), but as a result of loss in FOCUS, again due to fear, distraction, or lack of experience mechanisms to mange the constant demand for rebalancing.

Resource contents:
0:05 - Sagittal rail-walk (forward & back)
1:23 - Isolated squat-turn to stand (intermediary progression to standing)
1:43 - Sagittal rail-walk (feet positioning)
2:13 - Rail walk: forward & 180° turn
3:45 - 'Brisk' rail-walking
