Workshop: Creativity using Flexibility and Flexibility with the Corde Lisse

The initial 90 minutes of the workshop will provide a great foundation in active, strength- based flexibility. Students will explore both solo and partner stretching while focusing on using the breath as a training tool to minimize the pressure on the body’s joints and muscles. The class will hold a strong emphasis on form and posture while spending time working all splits (right, left, and middle), both forward and back bending, shoulder and neck mobility, as well as feet and wrist function. The second half is designed for students with a higher level of flexibility, and will look at ways to manipulate the rope to create contortion shapes in the air.

The second half is designed for students with a higher level of flexibility, and will look at ways to manipulate the rope to create contortion shapes in the air. We will explore traditional tricks with a focus on how to add intensive flexibility to the shape; as well, students will learn how to use contortion knowledge leading in and/or out of specific wraps and drop sets to provide options for greater transitional movements. Students are expected to arrive to this class warmed up.
