∞OS + Moving Hands Like Clouds
For this session we invite Diego Agulló to share his practice "Moving hands like clouds" and to then integrate his ideas into our ∞OS training. Here's some description of what Diego does: On this Introductory session to pushing hands practice we will exercise energy generation and listening power to increase the sensitivity to feel the direction and strength of a partner's intention.

Introduction to ∞OS
∞OS is a bodymind operating system based on implementing oscillatory dynamics in everyday interaction through physical practice. In this introductory session, which is a part of ∞OS Hidden Agency residency during "Welt Ohne Aussen" exhibition at Martin Gropius Bau, I will demonstrate the main principles of ∞OS and also our special learning method where we use physical metaphors to implement new patterns of behavior into everyday life. In our practice we combine elements from Systema Russian martial art, Noguchi Taiso…

Activation and Response: Fluidity, Giving and Receiving (Strikes)
In this session we will explore some of the Systema principles and work with the pushes and strikes. We will learn the different strategies of sending an impulse into a body (or any other structure) as well as the different strategies of receiving them. We will then escalate both the speed and intensity and observe the changes in the dynamics of the activation and response behavior. We will also explore the different strategies to recover (using burst-breathing and soft movement), which…

∞OS: Assimilation and Redirection
In this session we will work with the concepts of assimilation and redirection, exploring their effect on our behavior through physical movement and interactive exercises. We will see how adaptability may be improved if we react to an incoming impulse with assimilative response: accepting and integrating its in~tension or redirecting it towards a different set of coordinates. Continuing our work based on the fluid body movement and strikes we will gather the new movement patterns together to see how they…

In this session we will explore the concepts of contact, control, evasion and in~tention using the body. We will work with the sticks to have a direct embodied experience of connection and leader/follower roles. We will then move on to a really nice work focused on evasion and redirecting in~tention through space.JTNDaDIlM0VHZXQlMjBhJTIwc3BvdCUzQSUzQyUyRmgyJTNFJTBBJTNDdGl0by13aWRnZXQlMjBldmVudCUzRCUyMjhvcyUyRmJlcmxpbi0wNDE3JTIyJTNFJTNDJTJGdGl0by13aWRnZXQlM0U=

Bodymind Operating System ∞OS: Gli “Eightos” della Confluenza
∞OS / eightos / is a body~mind operating system — an immersive practice that explores the notions of ecological interaction and confluence in the realm of physical experience and in the dynamics of everyday life. In their sessions, facilitated by Dmitry Paranyushkin and Koo Des (NSDOS), they propose the participants to practice a new kind of eighthos, based on fluidity, polysingularity of perception, scale-free dynamics, and modulated energy flows. Using a set of tools derived from dynamical systems theory, Systema…

EightOS Training Session
In this session we will work on the main principles of EightOS: confluence, fluidity, ecological interaction. Starting with a soft warmup we will move on to the floor work exercises that will help us understand the relation between the gravity and the movement.

In this EightOs session we will focus on floorwork and wrestling. We will learn how to use the incoming impulse to one's own advantage and how to get out of difficult situations based on modular isolation of tension and relaxation. We will also do some exercises to practice rapid stress recovery in difficult situations using sticks and breathing techniques.JTNDaDIlM0VHZXQlMjBhJTIwc3BvdCUzQSUzQyUyRmgyJTNFJTBBJTNDdGl0by13aWRnZXQlMjBldmVudCUzRCUyMjhvcyUyRnJlc2VhcmNoLWxhYiUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRnRpdG8td2lkZ2V0JTNF
