Embodied Musicality #8
Playing the 'Superglue' game to clarify your connection to the ground
Following up on the recent Musicality of Ground workshop, here is a playful way to simultaneously wake up your joints and clarify your connection to the ground!
As explained in the beginning of the video, my intention here is to give you a framework for increasing your embodied understanding of how you can skillfully use your skeleton in relation to the ground. For that reason, I show you strategies for practice rather than a step-by-step process where your pacing is tied to my instructions.
If you learn the ‘Superglue’ game and make it your own, you can practice many different ways and adapt your practice to the environment you find yourself in and the amount of time you have available.
For deeper integration, also check out the following videos:
