∞OS Oscillatory Interaction Approach
In this training we will go through a somatic experience to put the body into an altered state of consciousness, which is calmer, more relaxed and more sensitive to external influences. We will then practice several close-contact drills to establish a vocabulary for body intra~action and will then shift towards oscillatory interaction procedure of ∞OS: learning to play with giving in and taking over in pair exercises.

In this training we will look into the different strategies that can be used to deliver and receive an impact. We will look at the specific techniques that make your impact more efficient and also how you can bring a system to a new state of equilibrium using a series of impacts. We will also learn how to receive external impacts and how to regenerate from them. We will end the session with free work to give a chance to…

Delivering and Receiving Fast and Slow Impact
In this session we will explore a combination of wrestling and punching techniques. We will discover how to work both with sustained tension and with quick impact. Starting the session from a general floorwork warmup, we will move on to some punching elements using the floor and then gradually get up to integrate this material and bring it to a more realistic setting.

∞OS: Implementation of Wave Dynamics Principles into Everyday Life
∞OS (eightos) – is an operating system for the bodymind. Its task is to supply operational support for human activity and practice and to enhance our interactions with our environment. This practice is based on combining Systema Russian martial art, Noguchi Taiso Japanese body work, Vipassana meditation and other techniques. The body is shifted into the natural work mode, which is based on wave-like and spiral movement (hence the 8 in the name of the practice). Working with other people…

We will work on delivering and receiving impact. The main idea is to develop a practice where you can create an affect without letting it affect you back and also receiving affect in a way that localizes the impact and transmits it through the system and out of it. We will start with a general warmup and slow impact moving on to faster impact and more intensity, combining the exercises with some wrestling and floor work to cool down and…

∞OS: Bodymind Operating System and Crossdisciplinary Scaling
∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ RSVP FORM: https://goo.gl/forms/95K42gUWFaep7Yav1 ∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ ∞OS – https://8os.io/ – is a bodymind operating system. We use physical experience to apply new behavioral patterns on individual and collective levels. On the 3rd and 4th of December we will host two sessions in Paris where users can try out our operating system and install some of the procedures into their bodymind hardware. The Initiation Session on the 3rd of December will include a 3-hour physical practice to introduce the new patterns and procedures based on…

For this ∞OS session we will explore interoperability of practices, which is at the basis of ∞OS approach. What happens when we put different practices together in the same context? How do they influence each other (if at all)? What is the subjective experience of that? For this session we will invite Isabel Lewis to present her interactive physical practice (visual sense + smell) in the first part and will then move on to the touch in frame of ∞OS…

∞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…
