Week 4 offers 2 options for students:
Option A) is self guided with the option to book private lessons with coaches. All are welcome to join this week even if you have not attended any previous PPA weeks. Students from previous weeks are encouraged to stay on or come back. The focus this week is on community building, self guided training, skill sharing (if desired) and mingling of levels.
Option B) Opting into the performance track. Half of the day is for open training and private lessons. The other half of the day will be spent working on the group act with Arthur in the performance track which will end with a STUDENT SHOWCASE on Friday! We encourage solo, duo, trio and small group acts too. We welcome other disciplines like juggling, hand balancing, dance, etc. this is a chance to show what you’re working on.
More about Open Training week
We know the importance and value of community when it comes to training. Having many acrobats sharing the space, focused and working on skills is motivating and inspiring energy to be part of!
Students can really make this week what you want it to be. We want to create space and opportunities for skill sharing, more time to hang out and work on those final skills you didn’t get the chance to work on in weeks 1 - 3 or a chance to focus on your duo.
This week is designed for both novice and experienced acrobats (or professionals) who want to come train autonomously in a supportive and motivating environment. Perhaps you are working on an act and need space to train. Maybe you are between performing contracts and want to work with a group of peers. Or perhaps you just want to be in the community and play.
Investment for Open Training ONLY
$200 for the week or $40 / day
$35 for 30 minute coached private (pay coach directly)
$60 for 60 minute coached private (pay coach directly)
