Mission Possible
Theory Time . . .
Do you know the answers to these questions?
1) What kind of wrap is on each thigh?
2) What is the technique used to put on the first thigh wrap?
3) Can you describe what's happening in the exit and why it works?

Answers
1) Thigh Hitch aka Tournequet
2) Slack Drag
3) This is an example of cancellation theory. If you do an OUTSIDE in knee climb over (normal crochet climb over) you will get to thigh hitch with the pole and tail on the OUTSIDE. To get out do an INSIDE knee hook. In this case there is a thigh hitch on both legs so doing an inside knee climb (both legs) gets you out of both thigh hitches.

The Southeast Circus Retreat is a new weekend program that is combining elements from a retreat, an apparatus meeting and workshop weekends. Here's how:

Retreat: This is time for you to work on yourself and be in a non-judgmental environment free of people that you might teach.
*
*
Apparatus Meeting: Like a rope or trapeze meeting, you can meet up with your friends from miles away in person to skill share.
*
*
Workshop Weekend: Tired of noodling around on the silks and need some instruction? That's why Rain is here! To give you some shiny nuggets to jump start your creativity.
*
*
Fee: $400
Price Increase to $500 after July 25
*
10% off for 3 or more participants from the same studio
*
*
Fee Includes open practice and all workshops. Must sign-up for workshops in advance.
