October 5, 2024 December 7, 2024
SERIES OF CLASSES

WHAT: Partner up on the Static Trapeze and discover the joys of pair work. Join Canopy Studio's Rabun Neves and her trapeze partner James Neves for this special two-part workshop exploring the fundamentals of basing and flying on the static trapeze. Key partner warm-ups and drills will be introduced for continual duo work, stressing the importance of momentum and timing as it applies to successful partner work. Students will explore a variety of basing positions and go-to flyer skills as well as build upon unlocked skills through sequencing.

WHEN- Saturday, October 5 from 4:00pm-6:00pm and Saturday, December 7 from 4:00pm- 6:00pm. This is a two-part series, so students are registering for both workshops and may be given homework assignments to help them build strength and flexibility.

COST-$250 (for the pair of people for both workshops).

WHO CAN JOIN- Any pair of people interested in exploring the glorious joy of duo trapeze work. Duo signups required (enrolling as a duo). If you need a partner, let us know and we will see if we can pair you up with a base/flyer 

PREREQUISITES- One member of the pair should have a year of aerial, able to invert, have a fundamental understanding of body positions (pike, straddle, C shape),  and be familiar with trapeze. The other member of the pair should be strong. 

COST-$250 (for the pair for both workshops).

INSTRUCTOR(S)- Rabun Neves began her aerial career studying under Susan Murphy when Canopy opened in 2002.  A year later Rabun joined the Repertory Company and has never stopped exploring.  Training mostly at Canopy but also at Nimble Arts, LEAP, Frequent Flyers, San Diego Circus Center, and NECCA she works on all things trapeze (dance, circus, flying, swinging), as well as aerial fabrics, hula hoops, and invented equipment.  Rabun teaches adult trapeze and duo trapeze classes at Canopy.  Studying dance and movement arts from the age of 3, Rabun loves teaching others how to dance in the air and make the movement their own.  Rabun is also a pharmacist and owns Hodgson’s Pharmacy. In her spare time she enjoys creating costumes, sewing, traveling, exploring nature, reading, and generally being silly with her family. Rabun's partner on the trapeze and in life, James Neves, an aerialist since 2009, also teaches duo trapeze at Canopy.
