Workshop | Nicole Jacobs — Ground Foundations for Acrobatics

This workshop is an introduction to the fundamentals of acrobatics. We will use acrobatic figures translated to the ground as an entry point into exploring acrobatic concepts. The aim is to guide participants towards establishing a strong connection with the ground, developing awareness of our points of contact to allow greater ease and fluidity in movement. The goal is to provide participants with foundational elements of floor work to support their ongoing exploration in the field of acrobatics.

CONTENT

We will focus on developing tools and techniques to enter and exit floor work smoothly and with control. Through a combination of improvisation tasks and short sequences, we will progressively expand our repertoire to include a variety of rolls, spirals, undulations, pathways, and transitions.
