Static Trapeze - Character & Artistry
90 min | $50 | All Levels
As the Caterpillar
demanded of Alice, "Who are YOU...on the trapeze?" Explore the
infinite possibilities of shape, movement and expression. Learn to find
new and expressive transitions between classic tricks and poses. Shake up
your usual habits and discover a spectrum of creative movement, from
bizarre to beautiful, pretty to peculiar, both on and off the apparatus. Students
should come early to warm yourselves up, though Camille will check in on your
warm-ups before you get on the trapezes.
