 +Two-legged Research 
 +is a course for true wanderers into an exploration of experimental walking.  
 + 
 +A walk can be considered as 'a transitory experience where our deep human rhytms coincide with their environment.' 
 + 
 +You will explore different methods with a particular focus on duration, instruction, navigation, rhythm, rest and movement. 
 + 
 +This course is inspired by diverse walking practices, from the ancient Songlines of the Australian continent, to the Drunken Dragon walks from China, from the migrations of animals and plants, to the tourist hike and audio tours, from the wandering philosophers and psycho-geographers, to the marching band and carnival parade. 
 + 
 +Which unexpected perceptions, questions, and revelations can walking lead us into? And how to compose a walk that can set us in an awe of wander (or wonder)? 
 + 
 + 
 +Walking - ‘Move at a regular pace by lifting and setting down each foot in turn, never having both feet off the ground at once’ 
 + 
 + 
 +_____ 
 + 
 +in the old <fc #800000>Maya culture</fc> : Red Sky walke, * your feet are the heaven of the earth (ancient Maya culture) invites you to go on a journey of discovery and new experiences, beyond the terrain that is familiar to you. The trick is to see the beauty in every experiment, simply because you will learn from it anyway. It is not about the preconceived end result, but about the unexpected that arises when you start experimenting without an end goal. Red Skywalker sets off without a plan and adjusts the course along the way, based on experience. This path is also about the stories we share with each other, the stories of experience through which we learn from each other.

   * The Rhythm of walking generates a kind of rhythm of thinking, and the passage through a landscape echoes or stimulates the passage through a series. This creates an odd consonance between internal and external passage, one that suggests athat the mind is also a landscape of sorts and that walking is one way to traverse it. Rebecca Solnit, Wanderlust: a history of walking.   * The Rhythm of walking generates a kind of rhythm of thinking, and the passage through a landscape echoes or stimulates the passage through a series.

-  * she describes walking as a state in which the mind, the body and the world are alingned, as though they were three characters finally in concersation with each other, three notes suddenly make a chord. According to Solnit, the walking agreement not only provides a pleasant or healing feeling, which we all know, but also promotes creativity; during the walk, the passing landscape becomes, as it were, intertwined with your thought world, which also becomes a landscape. The new ideas that gradually emerge feel more familiar than usual. As though thinking were travelling rather than making.+  * she describes walking as a state in which the mind, the body and the world are alingned, as though they were three characters finally in concersation with each other, three notes suddenly make a chord.

   * In the sixties walking art became a genre by itself.  Long bases his work on the human scale. This distinguishes him from American Land Art artists who, in the 1960s and 1970s, created imposing works of art in the open air with bulldozers. The only things that remain are maps, photographs and word pictures, which he calls 'second-hand' by definition.   * In the sixties walking art became a genre by itself.  Long bases his work on the human scale.
