Intensive workshop Hula Hoop
Hula hoop, the art of playing with an object and its thousand possibilities.
Ideal for beginners to intermediate level.
In recent years Hula hoop has become one of the most played disciplines in the world of circus and juggling. Many different forms of hooping have been created from classical, juggling and dissociative.
We will touch on the different orientations of the art of hooping. Manipulations, isolations, hoop dance and of course searching with the element.
Mainly we will play and investigate the hula hoop. Everybody is different and with that the skills to develop also change. We will touch various branches of the hooping world and understand which one is more enjoyable for us.
The first part of the workshop is aimed at opening up possibilities with the hula hoop. Different tricks will be taught and explained. We will touch on a bit of everything. Isolations, balances, breaks, escalators, juggling.... If you have a trick you want to learn, bring it and we will work on it together.
While the second part of the workshop will be more personalised, using the information from the first part, we will investigate how we relate to the element. What do we want to express or how do we have fun? And we will do a little personal research. Depending on the level of the participant, we'll make a choreography of our own or as a group.
