Summer Contemporary Circus Intensive

Expands on the principles and techniques of what is widely known as the contemporary circus realm or the Nouveau Cirque, with a primary focus on the Aerial Circus Disciplines. In order to become a performer with a mastery in movement and the physical gesture, one must diversify the knowledge of such field, and aim to amass and understand a variety of skills. Such knowledge undoubtedly makes the individual a more marketable performer, a true cross-trained artist for the performing arts of the 21st century. Students learn and apply a set of analytical and problem-solving skills, and practice and collaboration.
