This lesson we watch a clip of an Ignition workshop run by Frantic Assembly. http://www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/video/frantic-assembly-masterclass-learning-to-flyThe purpose of this was to again work on our trust exercises, with attempting more advanced
lifts.
At first we went over previous counterbalances and lifts that we did previously in a Metro Boulot Dodo workshop.
Afterwards we lined up facing eachother in two even lines. We had one person stand between the lines facing downstage, they were the rock. They had a strong stance, legs apart, strong core. Next was the person being lifted. At first they'de walk towards the rock, place their hands on their shoulders and lift their dominant leg. Then the line on the side of the raised leg each help up a section, hips , thigh & shin. The people on the opposite side then also grabbed in the key areas hips,high and shin. By supporting the heaviest sections through the body its allowed the lift to be strong, stable and safe.
Afterwards each of us had placed out trust into the rest of the group, we effectively improved our teamwork abilities and communication as each lift was executed safely and correctly. Now we had more trust with each other it allowed us to be able to then explore more advanced lifts in the future.
