Location: Aerial Area

Description:

In this workshop we’ll explore a vocabulary of progressive exercises, drills and skills to develop your strength and awareness of slow c-shaping and fast rolling pathways. We’ll look at the intricacies of c-shaping positioning and engagement as well as using these pathways as transitions in the air. Students will walk away with a solid understanding of c-shaping technique and a step by step curriculum to build their rolling foundation required to execute more advanced c-shaping moves in the future.

Notes: Alex Allan is a Corde Lisse Artist and Dancer best known for his performative work that blends the boundaries of circus, dance and theatre. Originally from Sydney, Australia, Alex graduated with a Bachelor of Communications – Theatre & Media. Here he began exploring Circus techniques through the lens of Theatre. He then continued his formal Circus training in the Professional Aerial Program at the San Francisco Circus Centre. As an aerial and movement coach, Alex helps his students to develop a powerful yet graceful aesthetic in the air by conveying an understanding of momentum and efficient movement pathways. In his creative practice he is currently most drawn to developing research tools to create movement and choreography that isn’t restricted to the air but that can explore the horizontal space as well as the entire architecture of the ‘stage’. He has both performed and taught workshops, retreats and teacher trainings across Europe, North America, and Australia. Alex also currently teaches remotely through online 1-1 coaching from his home in Bristol, UK.
