Ariadna Vendelova - Silks - Movement precision and fluidity - Intermediate

In this workshop introduction, we will think of aerial dance on silks in terms of „movement“, not in terms of „poses“. This brings a sense of connection and action into the experience, instead of a sense of isolation and statics. Working efficiently and in connection with our breath, avoiding unnecessary moves when passing through transitions or tricks on an apparatus, and by connecting to our neverending internal flow, we will not only find organic quality, clarity and fluidity of movement, i.e. precise technique, but also new methods of organic creativity for our choreographies. How can I move from my spine, rather then by force and contraction? Can I breath properly when I move on aerial silks? Am I aware what my pelvis is doing and how can I use to make my aerial movement much more effortless? Happy to see you in class!

Level: intermediate

Prerequisites: ability to climb the silks and work in the air for at least 3 continuous minutes, footlock, hipkey, inversion, and other elements of basic vocabulary mastered well.
