Resource person: info@fireflytheatre.com

Location: Firefly Theatre & Circus

Description:

 

Finding Your Way Home : Creative Process on Vertical Apparatus.  You have worked hard,  honing multiple skills on your apparatus over time….now what?  How does your work become truly your own?  How do you continue to discover new pathways in the air?  How do you continue to develop new vocabulary or transform known movement?  How do you compose choreographic phrases which might transmit meaning in performance beyond demonstrative virtuosity?  We’ll share some tools and approaches that will help you feed and renew your curiosity in your vertical work (and we’ll have some fun doing it).
