WORKSHOP: Looped Chains 101

For the aerialist interested in trying out chains! In this course, participants will get familiar with the weight of the chains, aswell as the unique ways to grip and hold body weight on such an ouchie apparatus. Air time will include breaking down a funcombination and foundational skills like how to cleanly separate the loops with body weight on them.

Recommended clothing: Clothing that you can move freely in, covers knee and armpits, and has no embellishments like zippers that can get caught between you and the chains (ow!). Trapeze boots are a huge plus, but tall socks or leg warmers can also provide shin and ankle protection!

Prerequisites: Must have a current aerial practice! That’s all! Pullovers on trapeze/hoop/hammock and inversions a plus, but not necessary.
