Beginning Stilts for Performers
OAKLAND: Saturday and Sunday, May 16-17, 1-7pm
with Anson Smith & Sid Silver
No previous stilt experience necessary. A medium-fast-paced introduction to stilt work geared towards dancers, physical actors and other embodied performers. We will begin with warmups and training intended to bring awareness to the musculature and movement technique stilts require. We will work with proper stilt alignment and gaits, then move each day into choreography, character work and transitions to the ground and back.
We will have several pairs of aluminum stilts available.
$160 early reg.: by May 1
$190 regular registration
Stilt Asanas
(Advanced Stilts for Performers)
OAKLAND: May 22-24, Fri 2-8pm, Sat. & Sun. 10am-6pm
with Jay Ruby, director of The Carpetbag Brigade
In this workshop we dynamically integrate yoga postures, Butoh dance and Contact Improvisation into acrobatic stilt work, with an eye towards presence and performance application. We will work with stilt inversions, investigate oppositions and graceful ground movement. Exercises for falling gracefully, effortlessly and safely to the ground will be taught along with a focus on partner work. A secondary aspect of the workshop is to develop character, choreography and composition.
If you have aluminum or other non-wooden stilts, please bring them (wooden stilts will break in this workshop!) We will have several pairs of aluminum stilts available.
$265 early registration (by May 1)
$315 regular registration
Special rate for both workshops (registration by May 1): $400
