Vertical apparatuses present a unique challenge in transitioning from ground to air. How does one approach, connect with, and then mount fabric/rope without looking like everyone else? This workshop will give you new techniques for generating more fluid movement, and an improvisational structure to reveal personal expression.

Prerequisite: at least level 2 on either rope or fabric.

Equipment: a mixture of fabrics and ropes
