Gallop -> 'Pu-bu' -> Dragon -> Lizard -> (bent-arm) Scorpion -> Role
Locomotion integration, sequencing & improvisation
•
1m 47s
THE WHAT:
An integrated quadrupedal-to-bipedal & back to quadrupedal locomotion sequence consisting of the fundamental ‘Gallop’, the ‘Step-behind’ integration (consisting of the ‘Pu-bu’ and “stepping behind” into the 'Dragon squat', 'Lizard crawl', 'Scorpion tail' and 'Role.
Bringing these patterns together into combination highlights the innate connectivity between the two locomotive worlds (i.e. bi-/quadrupedal) as well as 'levels' in space (‘low-gait’, the squat and 'close-floor' movement). This helps toward expanding the practitioners scope of opportunity & potential in both the integrative & improvised practice of moving through space.

THE WHAT:
Two locomotion sequence commencing with the bipedal/semi-quadrupedal 'Step-behind to cross & uncross' integration, and leading into more puree quadrupedal locomotion forms (e.g. 'Lizard' and 'Bear' crawl). They are used simply to demonstrate the integrative potential of patterns initial... -

THE WHAT & HOW:
Now that you have developed some fundamental quadrupedal patterns, it's time to start "driving the car" (a term taken from Ido Portal). The key rules here: DO NOT STOP MOVING - think "on the move" - and use ONLY the patterns outlined.This more "open" context allows you to start ...

Lizard to (bent-arm) Scorpion, Role exit
THE WHAT:
A simple integration allowing a convenient exit from the 'Lizard craw' into the 'Role' through a bent-arm 'Scorpion tail' transition. From a more general perspective, it offers a way to transition from close-floor (Lizard) into the world of squat/'high-gait' quadrupedal locomotion (Role...
