DA Symposium: The Practical One (Studio 4)

About this event

Alex Allan - 'The Theory of Beats' Topic: A practical dive into the foundational beats and pathways that unlock confident, dynamic movement on vertical apparatus. Speaker: Alex is an internationally experienced aerial rope artist and teacher trained at San Francisco Circus Center. He is currently researching the interplay between floor and air and is known for his warm, personalised approach to teaching. Aisling Ni Cheallaigh - 'The Art of Spinning: Spin-poseium' Topic: A deep dive into Aisling’s research on spinning technique for hoop. Part lecture, part practical, this spin-poseium (see what they've done there) will explore the physics and body mechanics behind the excruciating art of the spin. Aisling will also talk about their experience as a new mother and how that has changed their relationship with the hoop and their work. * The practical element is not compulsory, but if you'd like to join we'll have ginger at the ready! Speaker: Aisling Ni Cheallaigh is an Irish aerialist and hoop specialist who has created and performed three of their own shows internationally. 16.30–17.15 - Refreshment break, Jacksons Lane café This is a guest event presented by an independent organisation or individual and is not part of Jacksons Lane’s programme; please note that any regular Jacksons Lane discounts or offers don’t apply to this event.
