A 2-day intensive looking into Winston Reynolds movement practices.  After just under a decade of teaching Winston will be heading to Philadelphia for the very first time to lead a special weekend workshop diving into his practice of microbatics & orientation. This intensive is aimed and encouraged for vocational movers or performers who have some experience taking part in a physical practice of some kind. This could range from, but isn't limited to, dance, parkour, circus, martial arts, yoga, sports and practitioners of physical therapies. *If you are not sure if your experience is appropriate, I encourage you to send me a message.  The proposed practice is an accumulation of personal interpretations, and experiences gathered whilst navigating the world of movement, and takes inspiration from neuroscience, fighting, dancing, acrobatics, meditation, locomotion and partnering, to attempt to extract different ingredients from these forms and introduce both already established ideas and ongoing research into the subject of cultivating a movement practice. Winston is a member of the Ferus Animi // Terra Nova Collective, a group of cross-disciplinary craftspeople researching in the fields of human physiology and performance, through both an artistic and scientific lens.  Time frame:  Saturday Oct 5th 12:00 - 18:00 (break included) Sunday Oct 6th 10:00 - 16:30 (break included)  Location: North Star MMA Academy, 5904 Greene Street Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19144 Price: Normal $400 // Early bird $325 (ends 1st September) Half-half split: Pay half the regular price early and the second installment the week before the workshop** **email alexbrazinski@gmail.com to apply for half-half split Application & Sign Up:  You will receive all payment details upon booking. Please inform yourself about our refund policy before booking. (see below) This event is hosted by: Alex Brazinski  About: Microbatics & Open Forms The themes will be split into a morning session and an afternoon session.  MicrobaticsThe 'Microbatic' practice stems from a necessity of developing an approach to the world of acrobatics in a sustainable and somewhat holistic manner. It is partially inspired by some earlier setbacks and injuries which suggested a different tonality to the general approach. This in turn required an adaptation and evolution for the working methodologies we will explore.  It forms one of the foundations of Winston’s practice and invites the practitioner to integrate the acrobatic language seamlessly into their physical vocabulary. It’s about gaining more freedom and blurring the edges between what actually defines acrobatics. The original question I held was “How can I move in whichever direction I would wish to? How can we physically decorate around the functionality of each form? This is what we will attempt to find out, through athletic development, falling, groundwork, agility protocols and partnering all intertwined.  Orientation Imagine a scale: With our raw physical capacity on one side and the creativity of our mind on the other. Our aim is to find the space between these two worlds. This chapter delves into the improvisational and compositional aspects of the practice. Orientating the open forms lies at the forefront for testing what’s possible and truly exploring the endless combinations, qualities and textures that lie within us. Without the ability to improvise we never really get to taste the broader spectrum of our capacities. Through specific movement concepts, strategic limitations and open dialogue we will create a framework which enters into my own style of movement and uncovers your own potential path of approaching movement.  Workshop Framework: The two main themes will be present throughout the weekend, applying interconnected themes, links, and practical scenarios in order to introduce the practitioner to the full body of work. It will be presented in the form of warm-up, synergetic, technical material, cultivation of awareness, recovery protocols, athletics and open dialogue.  Refund policy: Cancellation of participation in the event is not possible and the full event cost will be charged. However, it is possible to transfer your place to another person up to 24 hours before the start of the event. If the event is canceled due to unforeseen circumstances or new covid policy participants will receive a full refund.

老肖瞧瞧

I have to say that the Penn Museum is also a No. 1 museum. The exhibits are rich, unique, and academic. In particular, the Chinese national treasures in the Asian Pavilion are moving... The consulting service is also very satisfactory. The Egyptian Pavilion is under renovation, but some of the cultural relics have been merged into other pavilions. The national treasures of Mesopotamia in the Middle East and the Mayan Aztec civilization in New America are astonishing. There are really piles of ancient Greek and Roman cultural relics. The underground special exhibition even has an introduction to the U2 aircraft incident in 1960... In short, the Penn Museum is worth the trip!

Themed exhibition halls

Philadelphia was once the capital of the United States, so there is plenty of history, museums, monuments, and sites around the city. The Philadelphia Museum of Art boasts a nice array of exhibits. I visited on a Friday evening after work because museum admission is free Friday evenings (pay what you wish). I did pay for parking at their garage, which was only $5.

Independence National Historical Park

Historic buildings

I feel that the attractions in downtown Philadelphia are really excellent. The historic sites near the Liberty Bell are under the unified management of National Park. Opposite the Liberty Bell is a large visitor center where you can consult Philadelphia&#39;s travel guide. The staff and volunteers here are also very enthusiastic to help give travel advice and answer consultation questions. There is also a small souvenir shop here, where you can buy refrigerator magnets, notebooks, postcards and other related Philadelphia souvenirs.

There are also exhibition explanations in the visitor center. Although it is relatively miniature compared to the museum, it still does not affect the number of tourists here. If you come by car, there is a parking lot in the basement of the Independence Hall Visitor Center for everyone to park. Although parking in the city center of Philadelphia is not very convenient and parking spaces are not easy to find, it is recommended that everyone park in the underground parking lot of the visitor center. If you come during the peak season, you need to apply for the ticket to the Independence Hall at the visitor center first, but I don&rsquo;t know if it is because of the epidemic. You don&rsquo;t need to take a ticket when you come, you can go directly to visit.

Independence Hall

A great piece of US history. You can easily spend a very informative afternoon roaming its halls and learning more about the declaration of independence.

Liberty Bell

Needless to say, the fame of the Liberty Bell is so great that it feels like it can be a must-visit place in Philadelphia, just like the Independence Palace. It seems that every time I come to Philadelphia, I will repeat the ritual of checking in. The two are very close, just walk across the road. The exhibition hall is open to the public for free, and there is no need to buy tickets. The Independence Palace needs to be booked in advance on the official website, with a ticket booking fee of 1 yuan. The Liberty Bell has an independent exhibition hall for visiting, and the entrance requires security check. You can visit it up close and walk to the Liberty Bell. It was previously possible to circle 360 ​​degrees, but this time it was only open 180 degrees, and the other half was blocked, but the advantage is that you can unlock a Liberty Bell with no one in the background.

The Liberty Bell was originally in the palace of the Independence Palace, and then it was displayed in the memorial hall on the lawn because the bell body cracked. This time, the display stand at the visitor center was also empty. Another knowledge point was that cracks first appeared when it was transported to Philadelphia in 1752, and then after several repairs, there were still cracks, so they gave up repairing it. And it was this bell that rang on July 4, 1776. The Liberty Bell has also been relocated several times. Although the locations of each relocation were not far away, people were still worried that there would be more serious cracks. They also installed a micro-variable displacement sensor on the bell that can test the movement of one millionth of a meter to test whether it is suitable for relocation. Every visit seems to unlock different little knowledge points, which is probably one of the pleasures of traveling.
