“Introduction to Fighting Monkey Practice”

“Introduction to FM Practice” is a weekend meeting having as aim introducing the Practice to new public and to reintroduce the practice in slightly different context for the one who met with it before .

I propose meeting in Swiss countryside, in Vaulion.

We will explore the ideas, qualities and tools developed during last 15 years of “Fighting Monkey Practice” research.

There are no restrictions or prerequisites, in terms of former experience or background.

Anyone interested in humanity and life in general is welcome.

We will work with improvisation, imagination and creativity.

The above are vital to problem solving.

Which is vital to adaptability, longevity and sustainability.

We will play games.

Expose ourselves to difficulties.

We will concentrate on strengthening and elaborating our partnering skills - other words

speaking: our « communication skills ».

Working with partner will bring us the alive

and so precious irregularity in the training; will

influence our behavior, the diversity of qualities, tempo and rhythm of our movement.

We will work with different elements of FM practice such as:

Zero Forms and Movement Situations which includes amongs others: improvisation,

stillness, coordination, “movement situations” - work with tools and partner.

We will work on strengthening the focus,the awareness of the whole system.

We will break the patterns, learn new patterns

and try to find our wings.

We will question how can one learn as much as he can and want?

How can one be open to the "new" and still be well rooted?
