Tool cards

Each Tool card is an exercise, idea, and starting point that translates into a movement exploration.

Tool cards are rich, dense, and full of possibility. Each card can hold a full practice in itself, making it possible to spend an entire session exploring just one idea in depth. The box is designed to stay with you as a long-term companion throughout your practice, offering material that can support years of exploration and creation. With countless ways to combine, revisit, and reframe the cards, Toolboks invites ongoing exploration rather than one-time use.

Instructions for establishing and maintaining body-to-body contact points, including connections, sensitivity, space navigation, and partner exercises such as points of contact, surfaces, push and pull, weight sharing, and movement themes, with icons at the bottom representing a circle, wave, and square.

Instructions for setting a fixed number, transitioning contact points, shifting the number, and traveling through space in a group activity, all written in green text on a white background.

The Tool cards are categorised by colour, with red cards for individual exploration, blue cards for partner exploration, and green cards for group exploration.

Add On cards & Consider cards

Add On cards are intended to be combined with Tool cards.

These cards can support attention and focus, add detail and complexity, and offer an additional layer of specificity to your movement exploration and composition.

Integrating Add On cards into your practice can invite new movement possibilities, inspire fresh approaches, and lead to intricate creative outcomes.

An educational poster with orange background and white text explaining concepts of contrast and complement in visual movement and space, including questions for self-reflection.

Consider cards are intended to initiate reflection, introspection, discussion, and areas for further exploration and development within and surrounding your creative process.

These cards can be the catalyst for meaningful discussion and critical thinking. Integrating Consider cards into the process can invite contemplation, initiate deeper conversation around a specific topic, challenge preconceived notions, or unearth untapped potential in your process. These cards encourage us to place equal importance on both the creation of the work/exploration and the process involved in its creation and development.
