Workshop Structure:

The workshop involves a work on the silks that is based on the technique, on the study and creation of sequences in air and on musicality and movement.

Each student will learn to dance and move in the air, without performing mechanically, will learn a new awareness of their body and its fluidity on the aerial fabric, will understand the space around them and how to use it at 360° until they bring out their own inner creativity, using energetic/scattering/slow movements.

First stage: physical preparation: This initial phase involves a joint warm-up and strengthening on the ground and on the tissue with specific and targeted exercises, preparing your body and the muscles most stressed to an intense training, so as to avoid injuries.

Second: the technique: This part is the most important and essential being, technique, the main requirement to progress further in the discipline. The student will be guided towards the knowledge of their own body and towards the assimilation and realization of a clean movement; strength, structure, impulses, impulses, elegance, movement, fluidity.

Third: the sequence phase: In this phase the body will learn to find on the fabric different paths, wefts and unconnected roads outside the comfort zones, until reaching, as a final goal, the classic installations.
