Microbends and How to Fix Them with The Circus Doc

What makes a microbend so hard to get rid of? When inverting, conditioning, and leg lifting, microbends can plague students no matter what brilliant cues instructors give. In this workshop we will discuss the factors that play into knee micro (or macro) bends. We’ll review the biomechanical factors that make lifting a straight leg so difficult and some common circus exercises to help artists achieve the straight lines they are looking for.

When and Where?

This session will take place at Lost Horizon on Monday, 21st February 2022, 4.15pm-5.30pm.

This is a virtual session: Emily will be joining us from Seattle, as a hologram.
