Silk3

Aerial silk and straps performer, teacher, and dancer. Claudio began his artistic journey at the age of 16 as a bboy and in 2007 he founded the Break-dancing crew named BariGotFlava. Driven by a strong versatility and eagerness to explore the world of performing arts, in 2013 he undertook a new path as a contemporary dancer and aerialist with the Italian dance company Eleina D.

Led by strong motivation and willingness to improve his skills in the aerial arts at large, in 2018 he started traveling around Europe and the United States to take workshops and private classes with various artists such as Oskar Mauricio, Leo Hedman, Jonathan Fortin, Brett Womack, Will Davis, and David Isaac Gray. This decision has given him the capacity to combine and contaminate all the art forms processed over time. Through deep and careful research, he has been able to develop new concepts, and methods of training and teaching aerial arts at a professional level based on movement and musicality, without leaving aside the technique that is the very foundation of the whole work.

Over the years, he has worked as an aerialist and dancer for choreographers such as Vito Cassano, Nikos Lagousakos, and Giuliano Peparini.

The first day of the workshop will be dedicated to the aerial silk technique, in particular by strengthening the fundamental basis, such as climbings, descends, drops, and transitions, as well as other techniques and types of spin. The whole work will be divided into phases, thus allowing each of the students to process all the notions previously learned and to handle better the personal training.

The second day’s focus will be on transitions, creations, musicality, and the quality of the movement. Different exercises and practical concepts will be introduced, to stimulate and incite their creativity. In this process, it is paramount to deeply understand how sounds, voices, rhythm, and even vibrations constantly influence our movement, driving it toward an exploration of time and space.

Every exercise is divided into several small and propedeutic steps, to make sure that each one has something to learn and bring home. We will mainly focus on some aspects of strap work: spin, transitions, one-arm and two-arm work, musicality.
