“Steal This Move - Copy Cat Club”
Culture is a shared project, the result of constant exchange. The concept of private property is a recent development that represents a positive movement towards bodily sovereignty. However, for poetry, documentation, science, and the performing arts, the energetic exchange of ideas only enriches, adding to the wealth of innovative impulses. In today's mobile world, cultural exchange is visibly strengthening a common identity for all humanity. Such a tendency could contribute to more shared understanding and respect of the other. So. Steal my moves, please.
In this workshop I will offer an artist's palette of movement motifs and qualities to adopt, distort, skew, convert, and otherwise plagiarize, as well as providing contexts and suggesting strategies for the communal redistribution of movement ideas.
As always, the Axis Syllabus will provide the technical framework and support for artistic choices.

Bio Frey Faust
Born in 1960, Frey Faust began performing at the age of 8 with his family as a traveling troubadour. He is a second generation contact improviser and an alumnus of the 80´s New York dance scene. Some of his more important early influences came from: Shekhinah Mountainwater, Nita Little, Pavel Rouba, Rene Bazinet, and Janet Panetta. He has worked with and for a number of artists (order of appearance): Ohad Naharin, Donald Byrd, David Parsons, Gina Buntz, Howard Katz, Merce Cunningham, Meredith Monk, Randy Warshaw, Bob Een, Stephen Petronio, Danny Ezralow... to name a few. He founded or co-founded three dance companies, and has created or co-created over 40 choreographic solo and group works. Following an independent study of anatomy, biomechanics, and physics, he has been able to build a pedagogical approach that has made him a sought after teacher, personal coach and technical counselor. After fifteen years of research, he consolidated his findings in a book, 'The Axis Syllabus - human movement lexicon', which he continues to edit with the help of the Axis Syllabus Research Meshwork. Founded in 2009, the ASRM is a rapidly expanding group of experts from many related fields in the human movement and education sciences. Recently, his work on the AS has been focused on the provision of an online "university" for the study of the human body: The ASRM Forum, as well as the construction of a symbol set with the potential to streamline movement documentation, creation and analysis, The Axis Syllabus Notation System. He also makes shoes, speaks 4 languages, and continues to create and perform dances.
The Axis Syllabus is a repository of useful information concerning the use, preparation, treatment, structure, function, limitation and potential of the human body in motion. The Axis Syllabus is a sincere support for a collective effort towards individual health sovereignty. It is constantly reviewed, edited, updated and monitored for health and welfare veracity and utility. It is not intended to instruct, but to inform, in the understanding that the only kind of consent is informed and in the recognition and respect for consent as the modern moral basis for all social interaction.
