Aerial Dance Harness with Lindsey Butcher

About the Workshop

To attend this class, you must have already previously attended a low fly aerial dance harness class with Lindsey or have prior experience of fixed point, single point harness work.

We’ll begin with a short recap of the basics before moving onto different single point rigging systems expanding upon what you already know.

Moving from static line to counterbalance, bungee and other propositions exploring and making use of what’s available in the space.

About Lindsey Butcher

Since graduating from London Contemporary, Lindsey has worked with numerous dance, theatre, circus and opera companies as a dancer, aerialist, teacher, mentor and choreographer.

As a dance and aerial practitioner, she has over 38 years of professional practice and remains very active as a performer, choreographer, teacher and mentor.

In 2003, (after winning the Jerwood Award for Circus) Lindsey founded the aerial dance company Gravity & Levity to provide a vehicle for her artistic vision.

Much of Lindsey’s aerial choreographic work over the last 15+ years has been ‘building based’ vertical dance commissions, a discipline in which she specializes and she teaches master classes in the UK and Internationally: France, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Canada, Panama and Brazil.

She is also a founder member of the Vertical Dance Forum, a transnational group who received Creative Europe funding to disseminate this practice and support the development of the art form.

What to bring

I’d advise that you wear multiple snug layers around your hips and waist for your comfort and to minimise chafing, (ouch!) high waisted shorts over leggings or under sweat pants for example. Stretch jeans with high waisted shorts underneath are my personal preference.

Long sleeved t-shirts are also handy for some moves.

We usually work barefoot on the floor but you may also want to bring slim soled, non-marking plimsolls for the wall and/or socks.

All aerial equipment needed will be provided.
