Styled to suspend
Since 2008 I have been practising the ancient circus discipline known as Hair Hanging,
a traditional circus technique that had been abandoned but which I have been bringing
to the world on the contemporary stage.
Throughout this time, I have been rediscovering and technically evolving the suspension
loop, placing a special emphasis on the physical care required
to maintain good postural health.
I have creatively incorporated it as a tool in my experimental creations.
The Workshop
My impulse to share my own experience, practicing and evolving this ancient Circus discipline,
rises up from the need to create a Technique, to have some steps to follow on the development
and research of hair suspension.
The Main Focus
- Opening awareness about the importance of a good physical preparation, including
the care and the maintenance of the body posture required by this practice.
- The art of “ The Knot to Float up” and it's delicates and essential details for a
postural health and good development of the technique.
