Description:

Toss out gender-norms and say hello to physics! This workshop opens the doors for everyone to base and fly. A partnering technique created by Pilobolus, non-traditional partnering harnesses the efficiency and strength of the human body to lift, lower, and carry one another through space, all while creating integrated designs and fluid transitions. Come explore the human experience of sharing weight and discovering connections. There’s no previous partnering experience needed.
