WORKSHOP NICOLAS ARNOYS

Minimalist and Organic Strings

For more than two decades, I have explored the art of strings with the idea of finding a natural, simple and obvious movement. In a harmonious way, I hope to be able to express myself through the strings.

For this I use concepts that I have worked on in other body arts: (aikido, Thai massage, system A, contact improvisation, tango, etc.)

This is what I would like to share with you!

What are these elements?

Axes: Posture, stability, balance

Fluid handling and listening: Of the rope, of the Body, of oneself and of the other.

Simplification: Figures.

Creation of a perpetual movement (even in static positions)

All this to create attachment strategies and games where the management of time, space, breathing... Allows us to explore the other through the rope.

Concretely, what do we do?

Lots of little exercises to understand the concepts, a few directed plays to make them your own!

The exercises are often based on work with a rope or even without ropes in which you can explore my forms (Enzos, gyaku Ashi, Teppu...) as well as their constructions, their applications and their principles.

The applications are often suspension or semi-suspension exercises, it depends on the group and its level.

There is always a research part in what I do, so some of the exercises can be created in the workshop to explore together a direction that seems obvious.

Plus, I think sharing my passion for strings should be as organic and minimalist as my way of tying! For this, it is more my interaction with the group that will decide the content than a recipe prepared in advance.

My study and my sharing are built on both sides of the rope. I think both (or more) participants need to develop their knowledge as skills. Additionally, I try to get back to the heart of the sensations of the practice.

Which implies that neither our culture nor gender are part of my primary research.
