What will be covered in the workshop
For over a year now DC’s most spectacular Object Manipulators have joined forces, performed and taught under the title Dance Afire. Two of these talents, Surprise and Fractal, have put their heads together and come up with a two hour workshop that will introduce you to the expressions of two of our arts most dramatic tools, Hoop and Staff. Below you’ll find the basic sylabi Fractal and Surprise will use to explore first principles with you. What many outside of the practice do not know is that Hoop and staff though visually distinct, are from the wielders perspective very similar. This Workshop has been constructed to maximize your exposure to these similar techniques ensuring that you get the most out of your time with Dance Afire. As a dancer you know that technique is just the beginning. Using these first principles as a foundation Surprise and Fractal will share their unique insights as dancers on how these techniques may be integrated into your personal practice and used to accent your dance.
