Movement Methodology

AXELROAD'S Methodology, is a post-contemporary movement vocabulary.  It is the core of my research, creation and educational work.
 

Dance is similarly to language, composed of numerous dialects that can intermingle to form complex articulations. AXELROAD Method fosters this hybridity by synthesizing elements from my extensive array of movement practices, including Martial Arts, Feldenkrais, Meditation, Gaga, Classical Ballet, Contemporary practices and Urban Styles such as Popping, Krumping and Voguing.
This interdisciplinary confluence fosters a heightened relational awareness, confining the interplay of body parts, interpersonal dynamics, spatial orientation, temporality and musicality.

This evolving methodology underpins both conceptual and physical inquiries into frameworks such as Clocking, Drilling, Icing, Zero100zero, and Speeching. Each of these research avenues critically explores how embodied movement can articulate identity, challenge normative paradigms and provoke new understandings of the body’s capacities.

A key distinction in my practice is the way physical work is inseparable from social and communal presence. It is not only about the flow of a class or the continuity of movement. It is frequently interrupted by conversation, reflection, and verbal exchange. We move between physical and conceptual registers—dipping in and out of modes of attention. It acknowledges that bodies do not move in isolation, and that awareness is shaped collectively as much as individually.

Axelroad’s philosophy emphasizes corporeal awareness as a path of accessing the hidden knowledge inherent in physical experience and the body. Every stage of development is a holistic celebration of embodied presence and discovery.
 

Accessibility and inclusivity are foundational to my practice. Through workshops and community classes, I aim to create participatory spaces that welcome individuals of all ages, abilities and backgrounds. This commitment underscores my belief in the democratizing potential of dance as a medium that transcends cultural and physical boundaries. By that, enabling participants to connect and elevate their physical abilities, to realize their creative potential and to access equal practice and benefits of Dip.
