Born in 1960, Frey Faust began performing at the age of 8 with his family as a traveling troubadour. He is a second generation contact improviser and an alumnus of the 80´s New York dance scene. Some of his more important early influences came from: Shekhinah Mountainwater, Nita Little, Pavel Rouba, Rene Bazinet, and Janet Panetta. He has worked with and for a number of artists (order of appearance): Ohad Naharin, Donald Byrd, David Parsons, Gina Buntz, Howard Katz, Merce Cunningham, Meredith Monk, Randy Warshaw, Bob Een, Stephen Petronio, Danny Ezralow... to name a few. He founded or co-founded three dance companies, and has created or co-created over 40 choreographic solo and group works. Following an independent study of anatomy, biomechanics, and physics, he has been able to build a pedagogical approach that has made him a sought after teacher, personal coach and technical counselor. After fifteen years of research, he consolidated his findings in a book, 'The Axis Syllabus - human movement lexicon', which he continues to edit with the help of the Axis Syllabus Research Meshwork. Founded in 2009, the ASRN is a rapidly expanding group of experts from many related fields in the human movement and education sciences. Recently, his work on the AS has been focused on the provision of an online "university" for the study of the human body: The ASRM Forum, as well as the construction of a symbol set with the potential to streamline movement documentation, creation and analysis, The Human Movement Alphabet. He also makes shoes, speaks 4 languages, and continues to create and perform dances.  https://www.freyfaust.org/

Frey Faust, creator of The Axis Syllabus and author of 101 USELESS EXERCISES...and what to do instead, talks with J about increasing awareness through an exploration of physiological or biological principles. They discuss his departure from the NY dance scene, pitfalls of standardization and funding, addressing pain by compiling information about the body that ended up contradicting conventional notions, form, fractals, symbols, stretching ligaments, and checking our own perceptions to be clear on what vision of reality we are working with.

Frey Faust - "Freedom, Pedagogy and The Axis Syllabus"

Breaking a vicious circle happens most times when you hit rock bottom. What if we weren’t waiting for that and educating ourselves as soon as possible? It’s one of the messages that I got from my exchange with Frey Faust, the founder of Axis Syllabus. He danced for several iconic choreographers such as Merce Cunningham, Daniel Ezralow, Stephen Petronio and Meredith Monk but felt that something was wrong as a lot of dancers around him were getting injured and as he was feeling more and more pain throughout his career. But, he still had to reach the point of not being able to walk to dive into the scientific findings of the study of the human body and movement in order to find a better way of training and moving. Discover Frey’s story in this episode. Mentioned in this episode: • Joseph Pilates and Pilates • Juliu Horvath and Gyrotonic • Axis Syllabus • Marcel Marceau • Daniel Ezralow, Merce Cunningham, Stephen Petronio, Meredith Monk • Cecchetti method / Vaganova method • Janet Panetta • rolling, crawling, running, walking, climbing and jumping • human movement alphabet • axisforums.org • c.satr.man@freyfaust.org

What's your story - Frey Faust?

Primary consolidator of the Axis Syllabus creator Frey joins me to discuss classical dance, the “currencies” of the body, injuries, anatomy and research, cat porn, human movement fundamentals, anatomical grammar, copyright and teaching, scientific axioms, learning and variety, movement notation, 3D thinking, feet, and shoes. Lots on shoes. A fun geek out. https://www.freyfaust.org http://www.axissyllabus.org
