The Axis Syllabus© was first developed in the late 1990s by the choreographer\, dancer and teacher Frey Faust. Initi ally conceived as a means of promoting dancers’ health\, it evolved into a tool for achieving virtuosity and enhancing the pleasure of movement. W ith the contribution of the Axis Syllabus Research Meshwork (ASRM)\, an in ternational group of artists\, therapists\, scientists\, and movement prof essionals who have come together over the years and continue to drive rese arch forward\, the book \;The Axis Syllab us©: Human Movement Lexicon \;is in its sixth edition. Further in formation is available at www.axissyllabusforums.org.
Every day we will offer a concept from the Axis Syllabus archive to prepare the body for dancing.
A look at th e body\, its complexity and poetry.
Theoretical and practical tools to facilitate healthy\, effective\, and conscious ways to move.
To s hare the joy of dancing.
Finding grace in everyday actions\, to incr ease our creative and performative potential.

HANDS in Con tact Improvisation
In “Penfield’s Homunculus”\, the hands appe ar disproportionately large. This metaphorical representation reflects the m as a fundamental organ of perception. In Contact Improvisation\, the tru st we can establish through the proper use of hands seems to be an importa nt question. How can we use our hands to communicate clearly\, encourage\, support the relationship\, and signal our boundaries?
