I keep getting a lot of the same questions so here's a FAQ for the event:
Facilities: we have one silk at 22' with no obstructions and a crash mat, one silk at 22' with some obstructions above 16' and a very nice trapeze at 16'. this is a large raw warehouse space with concrete floors.
What to Bring: clothes that won't get caught on the fabric but that will protect you from fabric burns. baggy is bad. jeans are bad. covering your knees to prevent burns behind the knees is good. pants should be no longer than your calf (or rolled up to there) or they can get caught on the fabric. for those not afraid to look a little silly, a unitard is functionally ideal.
Address: 1190 28th Street, Emeryville, CA at the corner of 28th and Magnolia, entrance through the blue door on Magnolia St.
Yes, we're right on the border of Oakland and may actually be in Oakland, but if you tell MapQuest/Google Maps/ Whatever that we're in Oakland you're going to be sent to the WRONG place.
Time: Unless posted otherwise, the jam/skillshare starts at 8:30pm and generally runs until 10:30 or 11pm. Yoga, when offered, starts at 7pm and runs until 8:15pm. DON'T BE EARLY. I'm usually doing something beforehand and will not be ready for you if you arrive before the posted start time.
Who is welcome? All levels welcome. I am generally happy to teach the basics and we often have other experienced practitioners who are happy to do so as well. More experienced folk generally practice their routines and teach each other new tricks.
Cost: I want to make this affordable to everyone so I ask only a $5 donation. If you are really too poor for the $5 (perhaps living in a circus bus and dumpstering your food) you are welcome to nab me some fruit as a donation instead. when i offer yoga as well, there is an additional $5 donation for the yoga class.
Misc: sometimes we play around and work on contortion or fire eating/breathing and assorted other circus or acrobatic skills.
further questions: call Rich at 510.717.5607 between noon and 7pm.
thanks!
