Axial and Apendage Skeleton

Left Image: Apendage Skeleton

In our Improvisation classes, we have learnt the difference between the two types of skeleton. The axial skeleton consists of the skull, spine and pelvis. The apendage skeleton includes the arms and legs. We had to move with each skeleton individually. I found when moving with the axial skeleton, my movements were slow and controlled. I was really concentrating on initiating with the skull, spine and pelvis and then my other body parts had to follow. However, when I lead with the apendage skeleton, my movements were very free and fast, almost like I had no control. I was producing quirky movements that I hadn't before.
