“Elevate” Aerial Act Creation + Performance Series is a 4-session (8-hour) workshop focusing on the process of aerial act development. After the series concludes, participants present their acts at Om Factory’s Spring Cabaret — with an add-on option to perform again at NYC’s iconic cabaret venue The Slipper Room!*

In this workshop, we will explore performance, musicality, story, character, and audience engagement through movement, experimentation, and play — both in the air and on the ground! The tools & techniques of this workshop are designed to help everyone from first-time performers to seasoned professionals.

Costumes & confidence come into play as we polish your act. Choose your favorite apparatus from silks, lyra, rope, hammock, or a duo act with a friend! Participants are encouraged to dream up anything their imaginations want to explore.

Note:  New skill sets will not be introduced; focus on refining existing skills.

Pre-Requisites:

• Must be able to invert from the ground or air without additional assistance.

• Must be able to perform skills on the choice of apparatus prior to enrolling.

• Students must be able to attend ALL sessions to enroll.
