Act Creation for Beginners
Have you ever wanted to put together your very own aerial performance, but just didn’t know where to start? This workshop will introduce you to my act creation framework and process, using my act creation worksheet to start planning your very own aerial act! During this half day workshop we will also begin to explore some creative movement exercises to start becoming more in tune with our bodies and how we like to move. By the end of the workshop you should be well on your way to creating your very own aerial act!
I understand that this is a half day workshop introducing concepts of act creation, but does not allow time for all participants to create an entire act during the workshop. If you are interested in continuing to work with me to further develop your aerial act, I offer 1:1 zoom calls to achieve this. Please reach out to me during or after the workshop to arrange this.
This workshop is open to all aerial disciplines. Please note this workshop is ground based and we will not be using any aerial apparatus during the workshop!
Prerequisites: a willingness to look silly and challenge yourselves!
