NECCA Summer Workshops (Brattleboro)
Posted April 21, 2009
UPDATE: 07/23/09 Just bouncing this to the top of the menu because while it might have seemed ages away when we first posted it in April, summer's half over and Boot Camp starts next week!
Note: Vermont's not that far away— the school is right on the train line, a direct trip from Penn Station. Here's a list of some upcoming offerings at the New England Center for Circus Arts. Posted as received.
Aerial Fabric
May 29–31
Friday 1–5pm; Saturday, 1–5pm; Sunday 9–1pm
$250
For students who want a good introduction to fabric or who know the basics and want to learn more choreography and drops. Focus is on foot lock skills, sequencing and creative transitioning, plus progressions from beginning to more advanced drops. Beginners through advanced are welcome. Because we have several instructors, we are able to accommodate people at different levels.
Aerial Improvisation and Creativity
With Aimee Hancock
June 5–7
Friday 1–5pm; Saturday, 1–5pm; Sunday 9–1pm
$250
Every circus artist has a unique relationship with their discipline and develops their own material in their own way and in their own style, but there still remains a common ground for all: the body.
- Develop and give free reign to creativity (research and improvisation)
- Integrate the research from the exercises into your act/discipline.
- Link movement and emotion.
- Enlarge your understanding of style of movement and vocabulary.
The workshop will explore the global connection of physical performance with the help of exercises and improvisation on the floor and in the air. An active imagination will be needed to reach and mobilize your deep sources of creativity. This is a training conceived for those who wish to develop new forms of expression, a living language of movement and theatrical choreography.

Beginners through advanced are welcome. Because we have several instructors, we are able to accommodate people at different levels.
