DUO TRAPEZE WORKSHOP
Partner required
$50/person
In this workshop, you will learn a variety of conditioning exercises that will slowly build strength and trust between partners. Workshops will focus on proper technique for ‘basing’ and ‘flying’ in the air and work through a variety of tricks that are taught to progress in complexity and skill, eventually allowing execution of a strong movement vocabulary allowing for performance of combinations that build endurance and prepare towards the goal of creating a full act. Duos can also come to explore vocabulary they have already mastered and create/research variations on their existing knowledge base.
