Creating Expressive Aerial Performance

This workshop invites you to explore expressive movement quality as the foundation for creating meaningful aerial performance. Through guided improvisation and sequencing prompts, we’ll play with shape, tempo, initiation, and texture—building awareness of how you move, not just what you do. You’ll be encouraged to take expressive risks in a supportive environment, discovering tools to develop your unique movement voice and style. To wrap up, we’ll explore how to organize what you already know—connecting skills, shaping transitions, and considering practical details like timing, difficulty, and skill height—to begin crafting an act that feels polished and uniquely yours.

Prerequisites: comfortable sequencing on chosen apparatus for 2-4 min at a time)
