WHEN: Saturday March 30th 7:00-8:30 p.m.

WHAT: An aerialist's relationship with the ground is just as important as their ability to fly in the air. Unfortunately it's a very overlooked element of most aerial acts; most performers leave the ground as quickly as possible and don’t utilize it as an additional artistic tool. Through exercise and exploration, this class will help you learn the tools at your deposal, how to use our connection with the ground to our advantage, and make transitions from one to to the other more seamless. We will spend some time getting grounded into the floor, investigating the new ways our apparatus can move, and exploring the creativity available when our weight is shared between the two.

PREREQUSITES:

• At least 8 aerial hours of aerial experience required.

• Designed to suit more intermediate and advanced levels as well.

APPARATUSES: A variety of fabrics, slings, trapezes and hoops will be hung.

WHO: Meghan Spencer began performing at the age of 4, soaking up every performance opportunity she could get her hands on from dance, to marching band, to theatre.

Meghan has been performing professionally in Kansas City as a company member with KC Circus Co, and KC Burlesque Downtown Underground, and freelancing for other local and nationally recognized companies, including Quixotic Fusion & American Immersion Theater.

Lyra has always been Meghan’s favorite apparatus, but she can also perform on trapeze, sling, and flying pole as well as ground disciplines. She also loves using her dance and acting background to bring a little something extra to her choreography both on the ground and in the air. Meghan specializes in creative storytelling and emotional performances.

WHO: Lucky Herrera - Going through life i have always wanted to fit in, i was the misfit in school. Constantly trying to change myself to be what society wanted, even though i never wanted to. When i discovered pole and aerial it was like a breath of fresh air. It showed me that different is good, that we shouldn’t strive to fit a mold. My journey has taken me places i have never imagined. I’ve met people I’ll have friendships with forever. And even though i am so different then who i was i finally found the place where i fit in. My next mission is to push myself even further and compete in bigger competition while also helping others discover their passion for this crazy thing we call the circus!
