Ariadna Vendelova - Silks - Exploration: Foot locks, hip locks and waist lock creativity - Advanced

This workshop will focus on a more creative, explorative approach to our aerial silks practise and sequencing abilities, working our 'aerial intelligence' or the so called 'silks brain'. We will establish several climbs, foot locks and hip locks (some more and some less familiar) through which we shall explore the innate nature of these wraps, and see how we can connect one to another seamlessly and naturally. What happens when I transfer my foot lock wrap to my hips, and vice versa? The workshop will also provide space for exploration/research and will aim for every student to find new pathways and to step out of their movement and choreographic stereotypes. We will open space for more organic technique of movement to bring fresh air to our practise: How does my body breathe and collaborate with the fabric of the silks to allow for a more natural movement?

Level: advanced

Prerequisites: ability to climb the silks and work in the air for at least 5 continuous minutes, footlocks, hipkey, inversion, front and back balance, and other elements of basic vocabulary mastered well.
