108 movement experiments on 62 cards.
During the last 4 years, I developed a card deck for freestyle dancers. Those cards can guide you through your training and offer you different ingredients for your training. The deck is structured in the four elements of nature, representing different layers of the human being.
Earth
Work with your body and feeling.
Water
Dive into the depth of your fantasy.
Fire
Unleash your true expression.
Air
Expand your vision and consciousness.
Design and system
The whole deck is designed and illustrated by myself. The aim is to connect the visual stimuli with the different approaches you can have in the training. After a moment you create your own associations with the different elements to apply the method without overthinking.
Play alone, with a partner and in the cypher.
You can dive into the lab with a different amount of people. Find depth in discovery in the lab alone, an intense exchange in the partner exchange and excitement and craziness in the jam lab.
To make the training more fun and playful, I designed 13 characters, who help you with the selection of the cards. These are the four pioneers of each element:
Druid
Mother of the Earth element.
Professor
Genius within the Water element.
Chief
The one who masters the Fire.
Visionnary
The pioneer of the Air element.
