Dissolving traditional dicotomy

The FLOWA training is situated in an intermediate space between mechanics and kinetics, sensoriality and imagination, proprioception and symbolic construction.
It does not propose a privileged path for accessing movement; rather, it constructs a field in which different neural and bodily strategies can coexist and transform.
The training works simultaneously with physical principles, such as gravity, weight, horizontal forces, and momentum, and with perceptual and imaginative dimensions that activate interoception, proprioception, and sensory resonance.
In this sense, FLOWA does not oppose “doing” to “feeling,” but intertwines them, generating a practice in which control and release become dynamic variables.
Some bodies tend to access movement through strategies of control, organization, and prediction. Other bodies, instead, tend to be carried by sensation, permeability, and immediate responsiveness to stimuli. FLOWA dismantles this polarity: it does not strengthen one pole against the other, but invites movement between both.
The practice builds bridges between action and listening, between directionality and porosity, between decision and falling.
In this sense, FLOWA can be considered a technology of disidentification: a practice that destabilizes neural and bodily habits, opening a space of unpredictability and renegotiation of gesture.
Movement is not understood as the expression of a fixed identity, but as a process emerging from the relationship among gravity, imagination, the nervous system, and the environment.
Through recall, falling into movement, and the activation of forces external to the subject, the training invites a partial loss of control, understood not as passivity but as a generative strategy.
FLOWA thus proposes a pedagogy of the body that traverses and dissolves traditional dichotomies between masculine and feminine, technique and sensitivity, will and surrender, opening a field of experience in which movement becomes an act of co-emergence between body, space, and invisible forces.
