360 Flow
360 Flow is the signature movement technique developed by Jones and Anne-Marie Talmadge to find fluidity in connection and transitional movement. Both are skilled performers with Cirque Du Soleil, they infuse this technique with athletic dance, acrobatics, and martial arts to be applied to any physical art form and dynamic partnering. Available for workshops, demonstrations, and master classes worldwide.
Principles of 360 Flow
PRINCIPLE 1: OFF AXIS MOVEMENT
Defy Gravity, commit, and push boundaries. This is 360 Flow’s first Principle: Off Axis. To do this, one must decide and fully commit to moving like an imaginary straight line in space. We start to take this line to new axis points, especially those that feel “unsafe”. When moving with enough speed and momentum one will never fall, no matter what plane of space they’re in.
PRINCIPLE 2: ENERGETIC SHAPE
Energetic shape is stunning to witness, exhilarating to experience, and is the second Principle in 360 Flow. Movers track each body part in motion within spherical awareness, inviting completely new opportunities for full expression. You see the abandon when energetic shapes change in the air and you feel the safety of body when spherical movement is understood in ground work.
PRINCIPLE 3: FLOW MOTION
The final principle of 360 Flow is Flow Motion, or fluid and connected momentum. This principle is most key. Without momentum the off axis and energetic shape would never be fully experienced. This kind of motion is the key to full expression of the movement. Momentum also keeps the mover constantly moving which builds faster speed and ultimately flight when combined with all other principles of 360 Flow.
