Strength and flexibility are the focus as students build power, speed, and air awareness. Students will learn skills that range from rolling to flipping. Mini-tramp, floorwork and inversions from related arts are included.
Bring your mom, son, friend, date, neighbor, or anyone you'd like to our family acrobatics class! All are welcome between ages 7 - 97. This is a time to enjoy going upside down, rolling, and working together in a LAVA class. Please bring a partner (or 2 or 3).
Sarah East Johnson, artistic director of LAVA, will teach a workshop on performance composition, sharing some of the knowledge and information she has gathered over 20 years of making performances. You will have the luxury and challenge of developing your skills as a maker of things that are temporal-- deciding, choosing, and nurturing a series of events, occurrences, movements, and or scenes to create something like a dance or performance piece. We will practice and explore some of the tools of performance composition--spacing, timing, rhythm, pacing, etc. - as well as tools that apply to any creative process--images, impulses, resources, practices, editing, and meeting a deadline. You do not need to have experience as a dancer, performer, director or choreographer but if you do, that is welcome.
Redefine what it means to be strong and in your body. Come develop your strength, flexibility, coordination and explosion in a supportive environment, through both floor-based and aerial exercises.
