"Stiltortion" is coined by Anastasia word, which is a blend of two art forms: stilt-walking and contortion. In this workshop taught by two experienced teachers, artists and movers Allara Gooliaff and Anastasia Evsigneeva, you will learn some ideas and exercises from each Stilt-walking and contortion, and what is more important, will get to explore how you can reach your new limits if only your legs were longer! We look at the stilts as the architectural extension of your body that will help you to join the extremities together in different forms and shapes of backbends as well as to work towards deepening your flexibility in a new way. We will have a creative improvisational portion of the class and show you a couple of skill sequences.
The workshop is suitable for anyone interested in experimenting with the new movement fusion. Previous experience in at least one of the disciplines is encouraged but not required.
Please, bring your own hard-shell kneepads and a pair of stilts if you have them. We will provide pairs at the workshop but have a limited amount of stilts and kneepads (first come, first served).
