Fighting Gravity - Elizabeth Smith
CANCELED
Gravity being the relentless adversary it is, most movement on vertical apparatuses eventually moves us downward. But standard climbs are boring and break up an act in an unnecessary way. This workshop will explore some more unusual climbs and sequences that can be woven into the rest of your acts, experiment a little with combining known climbs in new ways and creating your own, and also teach a couple of sequences that magically send you up instead of down.
Liz fell in love with circus after seeing her first aerial performance at a traveling circus, started it herself 9 years ago never expecting how much it would take over her life, and has never looked back. Her first aerial love is silks, but she occasionally indulges in torrid affairs with rope, lyra, trapoop, and various and sundry standard and invented apparatuses. She loves collecting and sharing skills from a variety of people, programs and cities, finding new ways to combine them, and using her technical background to dissect moves and help students troubleshoot and fine tune their aerial work.
