The Axis Syllabus is a movement training and weight distribution analysis system that takes physiodynamics and anatomical parameters into account. Originated and consolidated by Frey Faust, The AS derives its name from the medical orientation system using the axes and planes to describe the body’s dimensions and spatial disposition. An axis is a point around which a joint or motion segment can rotate, as well as a general direction taken. A plane is a surface or cross section, as well a general direction taken. These two concepts describe space and orientation, indicate mass in motion, implying inertia. In both cases, direction implies time and therefore dynamics and ultimately physio-dynamics. Syllabus means a list or table of contents in old Greek. A syllabus might also be described as an acquired number of skills, a grammar of ability. The Axis Syllabus could also be called; the grammar of physio-dynamic principles.
The Axis Syllabus forms the context for a community of professionals trained and/or certified in various medical and physical sciences such as: neurology, mechanical engineering, kinesiology, Rolphing, Feldenkrais, Gyrotonic, Bart, Pilates, Laban; as well as diverse performing arts and movement disciplines such as: natural horsemanship, circus skills, voice, capoeira, african expressionism, ballet, yoga, contemporary, pantomime, physical theater and hip-hop.
