Join dance educator, researcher and circus strength and conditioning coach Clarie Farmer MSc for the January Circus Smart Speaker Series lecture!
A little knowledge goes a long way to training effectively, understanding your body better and enabling you to work towards your goals.
This talk is all about the circus strength you didn’t know you needed! As artists/clinicians/educators our time is precious, so let’s use it effectively to reach our training goals. Not sure where to start with strength training? Want to improve a specific movement but not sure how to get there? In this session we will explore how strength can help with our flexibility goals as well as making our movements more efficient.
Can’t make it live? ** RECORDING AVAILABLE ** for one week afterwards
In her talk Claire will answer the following questions:
- How tension might impede your movement ability and how to fix it
- How strength training can actually help you to improve your active range of motion
- What do we mean by “circus or discipline specific training”?
- Global vs localized movement for movement efficiency
This “talk” will likely include some opportunities to explore movement, find bones and muscles on ourselves and get connected with what is happening in our bodies!
