Twin Hoops and Off Body Hooping Sampler Workshop – Canopy
Sunday, May 29 from 3:30-4:45 (arrive at 3:15 if possible to sign in)
This workshop will be a guided exploration of off body hooping with twins and minis.

We will also play with isolations and changing planes using one hoop and try some sustained spinning with two.  No hooping experience required. Hoops will be available to borrow and for sale. If you have your own, please bring them. When you register, please note if you have your own twins or minis as the class size will be limited to lending out our 8 sets of hoops.  Please print and sign a waiver if you are not already a Canopy student or arrive a few minutes early to class to sign when you arrive.  To sign up for the workshop, email info@canopystudio.com or call 706-549-8501.

Laban Movement / Hoop Playshop – TBA

Join Canopy Artistic Director, Susan Murphy and Dana Skelton for a playshop where we will experiment with combining Laban Movement efforts (space, weight, flow and time) and hoops. By choosing how we use our efforts, we will learn a process for turning ordinary hoop tricks into our own dance.  No previous hooping or dance experience is required.  Locally made hoops will be available to borrow if you don’t have your own.  To sign up for the workshop, email info@canopystudio.com or call 706-549-8501. Space is limited so you must prepay to hold your spot.  Refunds are not offered for no shows. Wear clothes that allow you to move freely.  Cost: $25.

From Wikipedia – Laban is a system and language for understanding, observing, describing and notating all forms of movement. Devised by Rudolf Laban, LMA draws on his theories of effort and shape to describe, interpret and document human movement. Used as a tool by dancers, athletes, physical and occupational therapists, it is one of the most widely used systems of human movement analysis. Effort, or what Laban sometimes described as dynamics, is a system for understanding the more subtle characteristics about the way a movement is done with respect to inner intention.
