Tree Solo - a Tree Climbing Project

A class series based for all levels of experience and ability, on scouting and finding a tree you want to spend time with and should it call to you, work on a ‘project’ or ‘performance’ with.

Simply managing to climb the tree could be ‘the thing’, the usual challenge we associate with tree climbing - “can I get into and climb this tree”. Or it could be a specific route, sequence or choreographed dance.

Either can be challenging and personal to you as a project/performance. You will be guided through the process of finding and deciding upon a tree - a lovely process in itself walking, scouting and meeting beautiful trees in Hampstead Heath - and you’ll be supported through the steps to work away at your project/performance over 4 weekly classes.

For example, we could spend the time contemplating and putting in focussed work on a challenging tree climb that’s suitable for YOU. Or imagine, practice and refine a sequence that you create. The why and the how are hopefully something you will discover together with the group and the trees you visit. The journey is more important than the destination and there is no obligation to have a ‘project’ or ‘performance’ at the end of it. Simply spending time in the woods will be marvellous.

Some of the things we’ll cover:

Tree scouting, vision/imagination.
-Principles behind risk and reward, risk and consequence.
-‘Tree vision‘ and ‘tree dancing’ principles
-Finding the calling and meaning with a challenging task or an idea for a performance
-Dealing with fear and ego and what it says about us
-Process/progressions for treeclimbing techniques and creative movement with trees
-Focussed work on one tree climb or sequence/route
