Workshop Week with Framing Effekt

Framing Effekt is a contemporary circus company of students graduated from ACAPA, a circus bachelor in the Netherlands. They work together mixing tools from various disciplines to create unique and innovative material.

Who can Participate:

The workshops are intended for practitioners of any circus discipline or those who have a body who can respond to the physical characteristics of the movement training (body awareness, physical condition and responsibility with the teaching-learning process).
Although the information can be better used when you already have some experiences, the level is not exclusive, the idea is to work the concepts and techniques from the base and to learn the methods we as a company use to create and develop content.
The workshop week schedule invites people from taking single lessons to experience the full immersion of one week of work with us. The practitioners can therefore organize their own schedule inside the workshop week, taking in consideration their times and desires.

The classes last 1.5h and we recommend that you arrive 15 minutes before the class to take time to warm up your body with your own needs.

Programm:

Aerial Technique (Rope – Silks):

The objective is to optimize the technical language through the awareness of our center, and its positioning in the space. Among the different techniques to work on, the strength of the core will be emphasized as an enhancer of the swings/beats, the correct execution of suspensions, twisting techniques and the correct positioning of the body in different supports, balances and movements.
After the technical work, we will seek to apply what we have learned in a work of „dynamically correct“ sequences (that is, the movement does not stop but flows and is a consequence of the previous one, it is not born for its own sake) within these we will also include the development of the tricks. We will work with rope and silks, we will apply conditioning.

Dance workshop: “Encountering bodies”

The workshop offers different playful tools inspired by different practices such as aerial rope and body/space awareness, martial arts and partnering.
At the beginning of the session we will get to know our body through the relation we have with ourselves, the others and the space around us.
Through games in pairs where we can activate our senses and the inner playful child inside us. We will explore different ways of supporting others and let go of our own support. We will go back to us, our center and our breath, finishing the session with a relaxed mind and body, energized but calm.

Acrobatic Movement:
In this course we will learn easy acrobatic skills which you can then implement in every situation. If you dance, if you want to just cross the stage, if you want to do a little floor sequence before going to your apparatus or if you just want to have fun jumping around. This class is rather technical, we will work on different skills and analyze the body movements to understand and strengthen your awareness in the air/space. All levels are welcome!
