Creating Unique Sequences on Vertical Apparatuses - Elizabeth Smith
Aerial Silks - All levels
Saturday 10-1130 (AC)
Most of the sequences we learn are common in class, community, and across the internet. Part of what makes a performance special is how you take these sequences and tweak and fine tune them to make them your own. We’ll look at several techniques for spicing up a sequence to make it more unique, including switching up the entries and exits, integrating poses and other building block movements, attention to transitions, and branching out in more experimental directions.
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.
