    Workshop Overview / Przegląd Warsztatów

    Sils and Rope, Beginner level:

    The course is an opportunity to discover the Rope for those who practice Silks and vice versa. These two tools are similar but not equal and complementary to each other, this allows to do a thorough work on the technique of these two vertical aerial tools.

      Basic requirements:
  • ⁠ ⁠Practice of rope or fabric for at least one year (not necessary to know both);
  • ⁠ ⁠Knowledge of hip-lock not necessarily by the straddle;
  • ⁠ ⁠Straddle even with bent arms;
  • ⁠ ⁠Ability to climb rope or silks for at least 2 m from the floor.
      • Work programm:
  • ⁠ ⁠Specific physical preparation for the elements to be worked;
  • ⁠ ⁠Study of some falls and tilts;
  • ⁠ ⁠Progressive study of some basic positions such as straddle, meat-hook, back-balance, scorpion and, possibly, their development;
  • ⁠ ⁠Study of some sequences to approach roll-down;

    • Silks and Rope workshop, Advanced level:

    Workshop dedicated to those who practice Rope or Silks. I consider these two tools similar, not equal and complementary: the application of the same figures on one, helps the other and completes the work. Working on both tools creates a complete vocabulary for those who practice only rope and those who practice only silks.

      Basic requirements:
  • ⁠ ⁠Good knowledge of silks or rope (even just one of the two) for some years so as to have good resistance on tools;
  • ⁠ ⁠Mounting hip-lock from the straddle (not necessarily with outstretched arms);
  • ⁠ ⁠Good management of the straddle (not necessarily with outstretched arms);
  • ⁠ ⁠Management of meat-hook also from the candle position (thus making the legs come down and not necessarily from below);
  • ⁠ ⁠Knowledge even minimal, of figures like scorpion and back-balance
      • Work program:
  • ⁠ ⁠Specific physical preparation and preparatory to the figures or exercises to be performed;
  • ⁠ ⁠Study of some sequences "control" and roll-up and roll-down study that introduces the theme of the "air proprioception": to seek balance with your body in the air by activating specific parts of the body exploiting possible support points with the tool;
  • ⁠ ⁠Analysis of static figures and "keys" indispensable for a complete vocabulary of one’s own body in the air (plank, meat hook, back flag, back and front balance, scorpion etc.). The developments from these figures will be analysed below;
  • ⁠ ⁠Study of dynamics movements, oscillations and their applications on some sequences.
