Description

Have you been taking pole or aerial classes and been loving it? Have you been learning skills but are dumbfounded when it comes to putting those skills together? Or are you an experienced or professional aerialist who has been finding themselves in a creative rut? This course will provide you with new techniques to create acts that tell a story and flow technically.This course is apparatus agnostic. That means that these techniques can be applied to a wide variety of disciplines. I've even used this technique to help a student create a salsa dancing performance (I do NOT know salsa lol). Whether you dance with the pole, aerial silks, hoop, poi, a chair, or your feet on the ground, the lessons in this course will provide value to you.  Both aerial hoop and pole are used for examples in this course.  This course looks at act creation similarly to writing a book.  You have your individual skills, or words. But how do you string those words together? And how do you say those words? This course will help you craft the words, sentences, paragraphs, and tones of your act. The exercises involve brainstorming, artistry practicum, and written exercises for planning and articulating your act.
