What is NOT a feature of the creative form of movement known as Flying Low?

• A. Standing only without going to the floor
• B. The alternations of standing and going to the floor
• C. Involves creative movements and introspection
• D. The alternate expansion and contraction of the self

Answer: (A)

Flying Low is a movement approach that is grounded in staying connected to the floor and exploring how gravity and weight shape motion. It emphasizes transitions between standing and floor positions, inviting the body to move through space with close contact to the ground, rather than staying on the feet alone. Creative exploration and personal reflection are central, as is working with breath and the dynamic of expansion and contraction of the self—moving outward and then inward in response to the body's weight and gravity.

Because of that floor-focused aspect, standing-only movement doesn’t fit Flying Low. The practice thrives on moving to the floor and back up, using those floor interactions to inform the texture, momentum, and range of motion. The other features—alternating between standing and floor, engaging in creative movements with introspection, and experiencing cycles of expansion and contraction—are all aligned with Flying Low.
