Flow Workshop with Jeremiah Collins

Saturday, February 22, 1:30 - 3pm

 

This workshop focuses on the fundamentals of moving objects with artistry. Specifically poi (balls on string), staves, and hoops, although any object can become a prop to flow in love with after understanding these principles. Instructor Jeremiah employs his cubed system, which provides a framework to continue to develop skills after the workshop. Workshop incorporates visualization, posture, kinesiology, and synchronization to breakthrough limitations. Students learn the natural progression of the flow cycle. Learn to listen and act without hesitation and practice presence with flow. Props will be provided, and please bring yours!

Cheval Aerial Method Instructor Certificates

Upon successful completion of the practicum and evaluation process, trainees receive a Cheval Aerial Method Teacher Certificate verifying the number of hours of education completed and in which discipline. This certificate can be presented to studio owners and insurance companies as proof of education. The certificate is valid for 2 years after completion as best practices are constantly evolving in this industry. Renewal is intended to help instructors get the latest updates in safety and teaching standards.

Program Objectives

Participants study the art of teaching itself. Our program is grounded in the theory of multiple intelligences, meaning that different people learn in different ways. Students will learn multiple approaches to teaching movement arts; how to evaluate students in terms of their physical, mental and emotional strengths & weaknesses; safe spotting techniques; and curriculum development.
