Previously SOLD OUT, we’ve added 2 more spots to our Fundamental Beats Workshop with Lisa Rogers Marker on Sunday 8/23, 5-7pm! This 1 hour and 45-minute workshop is the first in a 3-part series exploring foundational beat pathways with an emphasis on progression through proper technique. When dynamics are done correctly, they actually make many skills (such as inversions) easier. They also bring a new level of excitement to aerial arts - for both the aerialist and the audience! The 3 workshops in this series are 4 to 6 weeks apart so you will have time to train smaller beat progressions and build the strength needed before attempting longer body beats which lever at the shoulder with more force. In this first workshop, you’ll learn what makes momentum easier and how to train momentum safely. We will explore the following on both silks and rope: bell beats, baby Fondas, turn hollow body beats, baby scissor beats, front back beats, Jane Fondas, turn pike and straddle beats. Each beat will build on the last so you can ‘see’ each component in it. You’ll get lots of notes to take with you to reference when training on your own: we recommend training the beat progressions from this workshop at least once a week to prepare for the next two workshops in the series on Sept 20th and Oct 18th.
PREREQUISITES:
This 3-workshop series is designed for vertical apparatuses (silks and rope) at an intermediate to advanced level. Students should have the ability to invert repeatedly in the air (no tagging) and a solid two-hand straight arm hang for 45 seconds.
