This workshop will focus on basic rope techniques such as climbs, static positions, drops, and different ways to move up and down the rope. We will also learn core and shoulder strengthening exercises both on the ground and on the rope, to keep our aerial practice safe.
- Aerial Exploration and Improvisation with Sebastian Kann and Natalie Oleinik. This workshop is for intermediate to advanced aerialists. We will learn exercises for creating original material, as well as techniques for developing movement in the air. All aerial disciplines are welcome to this workshop.
