Study of the body

Those who know me know that I'm not very sporty and I don't exercise much. This has brought me serious health problems throughout my life.

These photographs are part of what will be a training catalog and part image and movement study.

The three-dimensional world offers a lot to do in terms of movement. We walk and move in all directions. Transiting is perhaps the primary exercise to be performed by all people, including those unable to walk.

The point is not only to walk or transit. There are also different dynamic ways of moving and that is exactly what I believe contemporary dance is developing, which has transcended all the beginnings and formation of this branch of art to become today an advanced evolution incorporating movements from other disciplines such as breaking, Olympic acrobatics, parkour, circus to name a few.

Zamir Naja is the performer and researcher of contemporary dance that appears in these graphics. He is currently developing a technique he has called Acroorganic. This is the life experience of Zamir who started doing street dance, then circus, theater and contemporary dance.

Acroorganic not only mixes a series of techniques. It also offers a deep study of the mobility that humans have lost the animal mobility instinct that many animals maintain and that humans have been displacing thanks to the technology they have developed. The study of our primitive brain of the cerebellum is fundamental to understand how our body works and what it is capable of doing in limit conditions.

I am sure that as well as Zamir and other dance artists are researching and developing new techniques it translates into a respite and oxygenation to this stream of the performing arts that along with the theater people everywhere forget every day.

The technological media have diverted the attention of many people of what they can do with their body creating sedentary beings whose health problems are aggravated every day. I make this criticism because I include myself in that group of people who do nothing in their daily lives.
