Cartoontra (Deathclown Rules #3)
Dare Carrasquillo Tantra: The Sanskrit word ‘Tantra’ derives from the verbal root tan, meaning ‘to weave’, or ‘compose’, and refers to a type of instructional text, often written as a dialogue between a god and a goddess1. According to Padoux, the verbal root Tan means: “to extend”, “to spread”, “to spin out”, “weave”, “display”, […]
Defining Genius
Amelia Chan At work we’ll be playing with someone who is apparently sometimes described as a genius – a discussion about what makes one ensued – which compelled me to put down some thoughts. Genius being un-ordinary, it’d be arrogant of me to try to slap on a definition from my vantage point. This […]
Red, Black, & White Paths
Dare Carrasquillo (Sohei) “An Ode to ming/ Charles, my teacher.” 1.Red path talk: the red path is ruthless. It demands honesty beyond human preferences. The red path teaches by taking away, it is a path of conflict, of friction, of constant pressures. Most of us only have some red path leaning, some have […]
Sensuality vs. Sexuality
Gökçe S. Hall Authenticity, has always been my strongest sense. Whether it is about my own intentions, life style, movement or any other art. Because I am so connected to this in me, I can sense it on others too. I can smell authenticity or lack there of, a mile away, from the way […]
Sequences
Tasha Louie When I posted this around two years ago, I got a lot of questions on making a tutorial because many were convinced it would improve some vague idea of mobility. I didn’t because broadly speaking, this sequence or any other that you would see on social media, won’t improve your mobility […]
Forgive My Ineptitude
Christian Paev Writing about the Movement is paradoxical. It seems doomed from the start because it cannot be adequately described. Even a bad experience is better than none, and even the best experience won’t be able to encapsulate everything I want to express. To begin with an apology for the limitedness of the text seems right. […]
Integration = Expression
Christian Paev Pursuing different positions of the body without having a field of integration is like learning many interesting words in a foreign language.. But let’s never say it. It is an absolutely necessary part of development, but why does it remain there? I am trying to study body language so that I can […]

Meeting Oneself
Nadia Genois I have always loved dancing. I remember when I was little, going to see The Nutcracker with my father. Imagination fertile, body touched, I came back announcing that I wanted to be a rat in The Nutcracker. Note the rat here, we will come back to it. Maybe. It took several years […]

Communicating from a Place of Sickness & Pain
Dare Sohei a brief(?) communication about the time i am in: this is a water tiger (death-fear) year, and all of my inherited and conduct/ignorance related disease symptoms have returned in not a small way. i have learned, brutally, over the last 42 years, about living a life based on a disability justice […]
Terrestial Nostos
Dave Wardman * ‘nostos’ is a Greek term connected to the Odyssey that means ‘homecoming’/’returning home via sea after long adventures’ but that carries with it an idea of spiritual homecoming.. perhaps even coming back to the beginning on a different level that when one left. [*] terrestrial nostos After terrestrial nostos [νόστος]* I […]

Inarticulate vs. Articulate Movement
Jason Round Definition [Movement] is a fluid term which involves an interplay between both involuntary/inarticulate and voluntary/articulate movement. The first step of any critical interrogation is definition. This is necessary so that readers can understand what is meant by the term ‘movement’ when it is used throughout any previous and consequent criticisms and theorisations whilst outlining the field for […]
Feel More Capable
Jenn Pilotti In our quest for the mind body connection, we have moved further away from it. We focus on perfect alignment, experiencing full expansion, pushing to be more: more flexible, more fit, more strong. But what if establishing a mind body connection actually came from thinking less and feeling more? What if […]
