DIÁBOLO SEMINARY

My theory of teaching Diabolo has three fundamental axes:

- The Diabolo is a toy and you learn playing.

- The Diabolo spins and it is essential to connect with circular motion.

- The Diabolo is lived as a body extension.

On this basis, the search path with the element, the body, the space and the sensations, emerges. The first step is to understand the language, disassemble the tricks to make them into words. Then, to learn how to construct the sentences, movement successions. If the words are known and the freedom to play with them has been already gained, only then, the tricks can be born. Many words form many phrases, if every apprentice tells its own story with those phrases, only then, the “Diabolist” can be born.
