Contemporary circus training
Smolková, Veronika ; ŠTEFANOVÁ, Veronika (advisor) ; BRTNICKÁ, Eliška (referee)
This thesis is dedicated to basic methods of contemporary circus aerial acrobatics training. It describes my own system and method which I have developed over the time I've been teaching, practicing and performing aerial acrobatics. The objective of this thesis is to emphasize the importance of comprehensive (contemporary-circus) training as the basis of the creative process in the field of this acrobatic technique. This thesis is divided into three main sections. The first one is devoted to physical preparation and mostly describes my own method called “The Animal Training” which facilitates warm-up, mobilization, strengthening and stretching of various parts of the body. The second major section deals with the psychosomatic preparation. It sets aerial acrobatics into the context of other circus techniques and describes its unique properties. It also discusses such topics as fear, pain, concentration and safety and outlines ways of working with these. The final section demonstrates my personal approach to the creative process in aerial acrobatics using the specific example of a concrete acrobatic number on the static trapeze.
