WHAT: The existential crisis of having a body.  This class is designed to explore a multitude of concepts such as hanging, balancing, falling and transitions. The focus is on aerial as a physical concept and experiential practice. We will explore theories about technique, momentum, presence and form while asking questions and embracing room for risk and possibilities. We will examine fundamentals to gain efficiency, ease, fluidity, and awareness, making us better aerialists in a safe and supportive environment.

PREREQUISITES: Must be able to invert repeatedly in the air and make a clean hip key and know multiple ways to get into an s-wrap.
