Dynamic Flow Intensive With Alex Allan (Rope & Silks) 05/09 - 05/11
05/09 - Fri - 7:00pm - 9:30pm
05/10 - Sat - 4:00pm - 6:30pm
05/11 Sun - 4:00pm - 6:30pm
This intensive will focus on developing the tools to create a seamless and dynamic movement style on rope. When we use dynamic and c-shaping pathways, we’re finding the path of least resistance through space. With this freedom, we can begin to move differently in the air; with more power but also with grace and fluidity.
In honing the techniques of beats and c-shaping, and gaining an embodied understanding, we will apply these technical pathways to a variety of skills and transitions. With this vocabulary, we then have endless options for seamless sequencing. We will then play with different movement qualities, adding another dimension to the choreography, with an invitation to explore & expand your unique style.
Highlights
· Dynamic beat technique
· Dynamic transitions
· Slow rolling technique and pathways
· Fast rolling technique and pathways
· Choreography
Pre-requisites: Students should feel confident with common beat pathways (front-back, straddle, scissor, flairs), have experience with some pop throughs, and should be able to perform straight arm hip keys and inversions.
