Trapeze Workshops
No Invert? No Problem! (Intermediate)
This workshop involves sequences and moves in the ropes that don’t need a true invert - if you are someone who is a bit scared of inverted positions or just wants to increase their knowledge of standing sequences this is the workshop for you! There are options to add a supported invert, as well as make the shapes a lot more challenging or bendy if you are that kind of trapeze student.Trapezes are rigged close to the ground for this workshop.
Pre-Requisites: Gazelle, Star in the Bar, Titanic or Supermann, Confident standing on the bar and can do a few standing moves.
Trapeze Handstands (Advanced)
This workshop involves learning the myriad of trapeze handstands that exist! These are mostly less scary that doing a handstand on the ground and usually involve being wrapped in from an inverted position. We’ll also cover handstand technique on the floor, conditioning, regressions and how to exit safely from these handstands. Trapezes are rigged close to the ground for this workshop.
Pre-Requisites: Can invert into a straddle in the air multiple times unassisted throughout the workshop, cross-back in the ropes and understands difference between crochet outside in and inside out.
Tied up in the Ropes (Advanced)
This workshop is part-bondage, part-mad shapes on Trapeze where you’ll cover some of my favourite moves in the air. These will be a mix of bendy, strength and balance shapes from a variety of entries such as Bird’s Nest, Crochet and from standing. There will be something for everyone but get ready to be wrapped in for this workshop! Trapezes are rigged close to the ground for this workshop.
Pre-Requisites: Can invert into a straddle in the air multiple times unassisted throughout the workshop, cross-back in the ropes and understands difference between crochet outside in and inside out.
Bendy Shapes (Intermediate)
This workshop is all about using the Trapeze to get into our ultimate bendy form whilst we’re in some amazing shapes. There will be splits, backbends and twists, all of which use the bars or ropes to help us move into more of our flexibility and get that gorgeous shapes. Moves will come from standing, on the bar, under the bar and around the ropes, so get ready for a smorgasbord of shapes!
Pre-Requisites: Covered all core moves in trapeze including Star in the Bar, Gazelle, Standing Moves, Bird’s Nest, Catchers, Backbalance and Frontbalance.
All Roads Lead to Pied Agnès (Intermediate)
Who the hell is Agnès? In this workshop we might get closer to understanding who she is and why she is omnipresent in Trapeze. We’ll be covering a multitude of crossed rope shapes that all have the option of ending up in Pied Agnès which is a classic move, which also looks great on stage and has a variety of exits. Get ready for inverted, standing and sitting sequences that build your understanding of how to manipulate the trapeze to get to a chosen position.
Pre-Requisites: Covered all core beginner and some intermediate moves in trapeze including Star in the Bar, Gazelle, Standing Moves, Bird’s Nest, Catchers, Backbalance and Frontbalance.
