Hooping Workshop with Malcolm Stuart

Movement Exploration and Inspiration Building

In this workshop Malcolm will be sharing a combination of general approaches and concepts with specific techniques and exercises, all of which are crucial elements of his approach to hooping. There will also be plenty of demonstration, both by Malcolm and from participants as the workshop develops. As part of this group participation and sharing, Malcolm will make sure the space we create is one where we feel free to not hold back, and to make plenty of mistakes, some of which will inevitably be beautiful as we will see. Unintended results are often gems, gifts from circumstance. We only need to create the circumstance and have a mind for noticing what emerges!

Malcolm's class aims to strengthen our inner teacher, choreographer, and movement explorer, and catcher! Everyone has the potential to inspire themselves and build beauty from that inspiration.

Some main points that Malcolm will cover are repetition and movement evolution, play/focused or structured abandon, i.e., License to Flail, deep knowing, traveling movement, grounding and foot work, and visualization to name a few.

Let us just be a bunch of hoops, bones, muscles, minds, and spirits moving in a moment in time and space! Together!
