Poetics of Athletics

This workshop will focus on creative variations of common fitness exercises, adding spice to the sometimes bland gym recipe of "push, pull, legs, core, cardio." We’ll include both solo movement and partner exercises that make physical training more playful and improvisational.

AGILE BEAST approaches fitness practices from the perspective of our species' evolution, developing workout protocols that make deep sense to the human animal. Modern understandings of anatomy and kinesiology are also highlighted, helping to ensure that our physical training truly respects the health of our bodies along the way.

"Poetics of Athletics" follows on the heels of the "Social Animals" workshop earlier this year and is open to anyone with a regular movement, dance, or athletic practice.
