Workshops
all offerings are customizable to your studio's needs
Sequence. Focus. Flow:
an aerial performance workshop
This one is for those interested in creating or refining their act or improving and defining their performance quality.
We will discuss sequence: how to link skills, intentional and interesting transitions, how to make them your own, and even how to decide which skills to incorporate and which ones to scrap.
We will also discuss focus: how to carry your intention or character throughout the act, where/what/who to look at.
And we will talk about flow: how to move with the music as opposed to moving to the music, choosing and exploring movement quality (fluid, sudden, light, heavy, etc.).
​
Self Care and Repair
This workshop is designed for injury prevention and recovery so that your hard working body can keep working hard. Using a foam roller and tennis or lacrosse ball participants will be guided through self massage techniques designed to break up scar tissue, increase blood flow, and improve the efficiency of tight, injured, and knotted up muscles. Please wear comfortable clothing that you can move in. The studio must provide foam rollers, and balls will be provided by me. For an additional fee, I can provide rollers for participants to take home with them.

Putting the “C” in Curve
“C” shapes are a sometimes mysterious yet integral element of aerial work. And spinal mobility/stability is imperative when it comes to aerial longevity. Whether you are working on roll ups, back balances, or simply want to strengthen and protect your spine in the air, this workshop will give you tools to help. We will work from the ground up on conditioning exercises focused on mobilizing and strengthening the core elements of the “C” shape. Students will walk away with a toolbox of exercises that can be easily added to your training regimen.
