We are disenchanted with the prevailing modes of training which reduce the body to the level of a machine, performing tightly regulated patterns that ignore the aptitudes bestowed on us by Nature These approaches generate dysmorphia, burnout, and asymmetries, shrinking our movement vocabulary to scripted sequences and decontextualized ‘moves’ We do not impose a design on ourselves but seek an open and unafflicted dialogue between our body and space, advancing according to a non-dogmatic, responsive strategy We emphasize the cognitive/motor faculties relevant to spiritually meaningful disciplines like dance, martial arts, yoga, athletics, and the choreographies of everyday life Our metric is our availability for unexpected invitations and the quality of our interactions We seek autonomy over our physical development, skillful recovery from injury, a generalizable athleticism, and the patience to engage in those subtle practices which allow us to enter the unknown with equanimity
