Workshops with Connie
Saturday, April 15
3:00pm – 5:00pm: Straps: Flares & Spins
Prerequisites:
- comfortable hanging on straps in wrist wraps or loops with straight arms
- confident inverting with straight legs
- some spin tolerance is a bonus but I’ll bring some ginger candies!
- an open mind and curiosity for spinning guided research
This workshop is designed for those that love to spin and those that hope to love to spin one day! I will start with a tiny bit of lecture/discussion on spinning techniques before we move into a guided warm up taking us from ground to air. We will look at different ways to start a spin, how to control and center your spin, and finally flare technique to inversions! We will also be experimenting with some anti-techniques as I like to call them for some exploration and potential silliness!
5:15pm – 7:15pm: Movement Prompts
Prerequisites:
- comfort in the air on your chosen apparatus
- come ready to play, watch, support, and create!
The art of play to create, it takes practice and sometimes some guidance! This is not a skillshop, by any means. We will not be working on tricks or anything so structured but rather work through a series of movement prompts to explore our relationship with our apparatus of choice. These prompts are handpicked for y’all from a library I like to use in classes and have published on my patreon. This workshop will start with a grounded, gentle warm up to get our bodies and brains ready to play and explore. I will have silks, sling, trapeze, and lyra rigged for different activities. You don’t need a huge aerial vocabulary to participate, just comfort in the air and a supportive attitude!
