One of our top regulars Breanna Mochida kindly consented to learn the Lindy Hop lift/throw "The Judo Flip" for future performances and video promotions. (I think she did great tonight!) We have new swing dance/Lindy Hop class sessions and strictly Lindy vintage dance parties (with a Vintage '50's Rockabilly feel) coming up next week and the week after, right here in the Fremont/Tri-City Area. :-) Check out the links below: Weekly Lindy Hop Classes at Fremont Adult School starting October 16, 2017: www.rockinswing.com "Swingin' At The Church Hall!"

Today topic is #BodyWorkEducation. Did #bodymind approaches (coming from Asia or even the western #Delsartian approaches) need to be inserted in regular post-secondary schools?(Universities,Colleges ,even community colleges). By seeing this video of workshop of @shirayaziv ,in @athleticplayground ,and after i've seen what type of class this studio offer my answer is simple:DEFINETELY YES. Why to "institutionalize" it? In USA,the #1stamendmentrights provides every to citzen the #FreeSpeech _ which means that even if you're not an graduate in #KinesiologyDegree you can "express" yourself saying you've learnt your #SomaticApproach with some "Oriental master" from a "distant lineage". BTW:That was the "excuse" #StevePaxton did to @danceoberlin in the 70's where he later developed #ContactImprovisation.He had no college degree but he was 1 of the 1st 3rd bell #AikidoMaster in US. Anyway:in many parts of Word there are some kind of "#EmbodiedArt" degree.In Argentina, for example, @una.oficial offer a B.A in #ExpresionCorporal("#bodyexpression" in english). In Brazil, @puc_sp offer B.A #ArtesDoCorpo ("Body's Arts). In Italy,thanks to #BolognaProcess ,a trade school called @accademiadellarte offer a mixture of #Circus (specialy #acrobatics),#CommediaDellArt (#physicalTheater is based on that) with some C.I. class.The same curricullum can be found in @circomedia (in Bristol). In China ,schools like #ShanghaiUniversityOfSports offer a degree that mix #MartialArts and #choreography ...for STUNTS(and i heard that almost of "#KungFu" scenes in #Hollywood are made by people who studied there). And that's the point:in last decade,thanks to #WomenEmpowerement initiatives in films,many of the fight scenes was inserted in women action movies or tv series.Exemples?#KickAss(with @chloegmoretz ,in the last entry doing her #Butterflyknife performance);#AgentsOfShield (where @mingna_wen ,or her #StuntWoman,kicked some Hydra or even kree's butts). So what is really my call up?To @calarts.theater (aka #DisneyCollege) to create a degree focused in that, F.Ex. Even if the student doesn't became a stunt ,he or she can offer a awesome bodywork class in a creatively bold studio.y (em National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByAxiqqBt3Q/?igshid=1kaxuucs218nd

New: Open Play for Performing Artists starting this Tuesday 10am-1pm. This is an open play specifically for performers who are working on something for the stage. There might be very light facilitation and opportunities for collaboration or feedback. For the most part it is people working parallel to each other on their own projects. There is a potential pathway for things to start during open play time and end up on stage at a Playground After Dark or Anniversary show as a chance for people to put what they are working on in front of an audience. This is an opportunity to infuse the sometimes lonely, daunting task of making stuff with community, camaraderie, creativity and collaboration. We think this would be a great space to foster a creative, working community. You are welcome to join! #athleticplayground #performanceart #stagework #circusartist #sfcircus #bayareacircus #performingarts #aerialarts #performer #artist #emeryville #actcreation #actdevelopment #artistspace @homer_tango @julianafrick_performance @athleticplayground (at Athletic Playground) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ciz0Zo8rj-z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Is it too hot? "It's been so incredibly hot this week. I thought it would be awful to be training at Athletic Playground, but it was actually very pleasant. With the doors open, the shade and the fans going, it was actually the best place to be, better than my house. When we start sweating, it cools down our core body temperature and makes the weather more tolerable. Students who came to classes this week were surprised by how pleasant it was to be there and that they could still run around and not get too hot. We are taking it slower and taking lots of water breaks, but the heat doesn't need to stop us from training!" - Coach Marria We look forward to seeing you at Athletic Playground!
