Friday, March 13. 1:00-3:00pm

Learn to crack a whip! In this course, we’ll cover basic bullwhip anatomy and physics, as well as beginner skills such as basic forward and overhead throws. We’ll combine these skills with dance transitions like body wrapping to create a short combination.


Note: This class carries the risk of getting popped with a whip! Clothing that covers as much of your skin as
possible is recommended. If loud popping sounds make your nervous system nervous, some hearing protection like Loops are also recommended.

Spinning & Sequencing on Aerial Chains

with Alec Stoddard. Fee: $100

Sunday, March 15. 7:15-9:15pm

Spinning on looped chains makes for gorgeous flowing shapes that weave seemingly effortlessly from one to the next, creating a mesmerizing, “how’d that get there?!” effect for viewers. For performers, this one’s a satisfying brain-teaser! Designed for aerialists with a well-developed practice; having chains experience is helpful, but not a requirement. We will be exploring types of spinning with weight centered and off-center, and how to use that spin to release one of the chains, then recapture it. We ’ll also examine how to provide greater proprioceptive support for generating spin and balancing in the chains with a fast spin.

Recommended equipment: Clothing that you can move freely in, covers knee and armpits, and has no embellishments like zippers that can get caught between you and the chains (ow!). Trapeze boots are a huge plus, and some folks will find using gloves helpful. Socks are not recommended because they can slip when standing. Plain
rock rosin works best on chains, and can be further stick-ified with some hand sanitizer.


Pre-Reqs: Students should be comfortable with multiple pull ups and possess good spin tolerance!
