Street Team Boot Camp

Date: Saturday, April 22nd 5-9pm
Cost: $65
Experience: 6+ months
Ages: 12+

This workshop will prepare participants for Street Team auditions. It will have the same flow as the auditions, and throughout the segments we will talk about what the judges are looking for in the auditions. Begin with an teamwork building warm-up followed by an intensive ground based conditioning session to learn how the professionals prepare for training. You will work with the group to set-up the portable aerial rig. Next, you will be introduced to technique for improvisation and the basics of performance. You will perform multiple times during the workshop and receive feedback from each round. After the improv segment, we will focus on building dynamic and engaging solo performances which will be used as your audition piece. You will perform in front of the group and get individual feedback about how it would be scored and points of improvement. We will take down the rig as a group. Finally, the group will be led through an active stretching sequence designed to build flexibility through daily practice. A Q&A session about audition requirements and logistics will follow.
