IDOCs » [FFTD] what animal do you admire for its movement?
this lemur: being available in all directions, taking risks, enjoying momentum and a certain carefreeness...is an image i sometimes use to engage my lust for movement in a warm up. (foto courtesy of michel loup)

I admire the human being because at first glance we seem to be non-specialists however our ability to communicate with language ideas about movement generates such diversity of movement possibilities. From free running to tango.
Also human beings are experts in sweating. As far as I know this is what we do better than any other animal. Giving us in the past to chase down animals much faster than ourselves.

I often admire monkeys at the zoo (the are wonderful ones in the zoo of "parc de la tête d'Or" in Lyon - France), the easy way they jump and shift fast into space.
But, less exotic, i'm also fascinated by cats,
in their way of being ready at any moment for a nap or a jump,
that kind of calm awareness that any martial artist (and many dancers) would give his life for.

Great examples of spinal articulation (all the way into the tail :-) and homolateral movement.
I can also strongly recommend the documentation of gorillas in the Planet Earth series - I use excerpts in my classes to clarify the combination of Laban Effort factors Strong Weight and Free Flow.

Animals are any fascinating in their specificity and their adaptability to their environment. For his funny grace and its suppleness the lemur, for its power and its grace cat, jaguar, for its particular body movements the lizard, for its capacity to fly the manta ray...
Everything is question of adaptation and life
