Description:
This movement workshop explores the interplay between technical acrobatic forms and creative impulse.
We begin with the foundations of body mapping, articulation, and mobility work as tools to assess, deepen our body awareness and movement capacity.
We will then explore the technical aspects of floorwork and acrobatic forms with progressions based on experience level and capacity. This workshop emphasizes repetition to help sharpen awareness, build discipline, and allow space for innovation.
Through this attentive practice of the forms and the principles that underlie them, we can begin to bend the rules and play with the boundaries of these forms, finding new possibilities. We will research what specific acrobatic moves elicit possible emotive potentials.
Moving beyond specific forms into the principles and potentials behind these movements, we explore their capacities of physicality in a way that is spontaneous and in harmony with your body, in that place, in that moment. We may find avenues of discovery in how our movement practice can act as a form of meditation and self-expression. By aligning purpose with physical awareness, students learn not only how to move but why they move.
The practice will be supported by mindful recovery and functional mobility practices, teaching students that sustainability and care are inseparable from artistry. Through these modalities, you can build awareness and agency that enables you to train intensely while nurturing longevity.
This workshop is not an audition. Rather, an opportunity to reveal your creative side. This is a chance to dip into the performance side of movement without the pressures of a critical audience and with the support of others. We are all here to witness our growth together. Let’s see what we can create!
