Continuum Training System
Continuum is a training system aiming at the continuity of kinetic paths and a specific and unusual way to use momentum, impulse, space, motion script and physical principles. The class pursues studying our relationship with the floor, gravity, weight placement, speed control, space density, planes, continuous movement, and circular trajectories. Using hands, feet, elbows, and head as important points for the pivot, leverage, support, and anchorage will be strengthened. Dancers will develop a new understanding of their bodies by exploring the principles of physics: inertia, centrifugal and centripetal energy, expansion, suspension, strength and resistance, all of which will sustain and generate new skills and abilities for moving, sliding, turning, jumping and falling liquidly.
