description
let's find the most efficient way of performing a demanding movement sequence. by analysing the movement itself, the physical forces, and the anatomical characteristics of our bodies, we will explore ways to maximise our performance by combining the given possibilities and have them work to our advantage. we will use the force of gravity to ground us, to support us, to allow us to take risks and to push our limits, in order to finally escape gravity. by utilising our potential in the highest degree, we will evolve and discover new facets of ourselves.
