The Sky Box aerial design team has been working hard on the new musical, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, scheduled to open in previews on October 5th 2010 at the Belasco Theater.  The team, including Jordann Baker, Sonja Rzepski and Evan Collier has put together some flying stunts and effects for the show that are sure to have you teetering on the verge!  We hope you enjoy the show!

Join me for two aerial silks workshops in Maui on Friday, July 23rd and Saturday, July 24th. Workshops are open to all levels of experience and will begin with core and shoulder body awareness and conditioning exercises.

On the silks, we will go over unusual climbs such as the “Fancy French” climb and the “Leg Crochet” climb and also look at a variety of techniques on the silks. Class curriculum will include beginner-advanced level variations of choreographic elements such as hip swivels, no-handed pike-overs and loop sequences.

Workshops are 2 hours in length – please contact me for more information!
