NEURAL

A perceptual exploration into handbalancing

NEURAL was born from a systematic attempt at finding new ways of challenging the handstand that are not the usual shapes (straddle, tuck and transitions).

Manifold types of cognitive load to challenge our balance are explored such as unusual head positions, eye movements, talking upside down, sense restriction, inverted arithmetics, object manipulation...

Movement is still explored but more from an exploratory (dance and restriction frameworks) and interactive element (partner work).

PRESS TO HANDSTAND

Mechanics and Programming

In collaboration with Juan Amo from Amovement, this workshop explores all sides of achieving (or perfecting) the press to handstand:

  • Mobility

  • Strength

  • Skill (putting the above two together through mechanics)

  • Programming

A two-hour experience to provide participants with all they need in order to be their own guides of their journey to achieve their straddle press to handstand.



HANDS TO FEET TO HANDS

Exploring transitions in and out of the handstand

A more exploratory but guided workshop exploring the space of possibilities in between standing on our hands and standing on our feet.

Borne out of a personal drive to tap into an artistic void in the traditional handbalancing world, Guillermo leads the participants through different methodologies to encourage creation of new answers to the question of getting from our feet to our hands and back.
