PDS Summer Intensive 2026: Drop in classes
Soft Acrobatics & Floorwork with Alex Brazinski
Thursday 7/16, 10:15AM-12PM
📍 Mascher Space (1170 S. Broad Street)
Description:
Soft Acrobatics & Floorwork is an all-levels movement class exploring the intersection of contemporary floorwork and capoeira-influenced acrobatics.
Guiding Questions: How do we distill highly technical skills into accessible principles? What is potent about the intersection of discipline/rigor, play, and artistry? How can fear be a fodder for perception, patience, and agency?
Through breathwork, mobility, and progressive movement research, students investigate principles of swings, spirals, curves, push/pulls, and off-axis trajectories as accessible foundations for acrobatic technique. By breaking complex skills into recognizable patterns and scalable forms, the class encourages adaptability, creative choice, and embodied confidence. Expect guided exploration of cartwheels, rolls, inversions, aerial variations, and floor transitions. A mix of personal research and choreographic phrases will develop strength, coordination, and agency through repetition, rigor, play, and experimentation. Some floorwork or cartwheel experience is helpful.
