Conversion Immersion

Silks

This workshop is designed to expand your freedom of movement and sequencing in the air through the exploration of conversions among basic positions and foundational wraps (for example: knee hooks, leg keys, s-wraps, and seatbelts). We will cover many of these foundational positions within the workshop, so it is ok if any of those names are not familiar to you yet. Come prepared with some of your favorite skills from any of these basic positions for guided exploration of pathways among them. As you find more relationships among your favorite movements, I hope that you find joy in expanding your mental map of your discipline. All wraps covered in class will be appropriate for either silks or rope, and you can choose which apparatus to use during the workshop.

Prerequisites: Able to invert comfortably while hanging from hands (bent arms/legs ok). Able to climb above a same-side and opposite-side knee hook. Stability in final 'resting' pose of the hip-key (any entry ok). "Basic salto"
