Inside (and out) of the Circle – Breaking the Rules
Level: Intermediate/Advanced
 
Prerequisites: Students must have previous experience on the lyra.

Lyra doesn’t just have to be about moving from pose to pose. Come and explore new and non-traditional ways of using the lyra. In this workshop we will discover the joy of unexpected tricks, unique personal movement and dynamic transitions to enhance your existing lyra technique. Wear form-fitting layers, protective leggings, tights and a long sleeve shirt over top a tight fitting tank or unitard is suggested.

Saturday, July 14th | 12:30-2:30pm

Intro to Tippy Lyra
Level: Intermediate/Advanced
 
Prerequisites: You must have solid trapeze or lyra experience for this class.
What is up can be down, and turned inside out on this circle that spins and rotates as you move around on it. Inspired by the Swining Lyra found in European, Australian and Canadian schools, the Tippy Lyra has been developed at NECCA and is becoming very popular because it is easy to rig and fun to work on. In this class you’ll learn how to control and manipulate this unpredictable and interesting apparatus.

“Climbing is as close as we come to flying” – Margaret Young

Climb away with me, in this exploratory workshop, students will test their limits ascending and descending in creative ways. We will explore all the climbs that one can think of and then some. This workshop is a great way to condition your body and get your creative mind flowing. We will play with what supports us in the air, what do we need to climb, and how can we make climbs creative and specific to us as individuals.
