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.
