Module 1 Equipment
How to relate to the equipment and to the audience. Although we teach this as an introduction, there are many professional performers who never learn this because they are only taught technique and tricks. But at DITA, we believe you can progress faster and further if you learn how to connect to the equipment and to the audience. These things are different for aerial than for gymnastics or dancing or other skills because you cannot fly without equipment and you are dependent on it for your whole act. As for the audience, aerialists are in a different position relative to the audience than normal stage performers, and because of that most aerialists never learn how to connect with their audience.
Module 2 Movement
We focus on how to communicate with your body with the goal being to tell a story in the air. Specifically DITA teaches artists how to move upside down, because this is something non-aerialists never had to learn.
Module 3 Emotion
We focus on telling stories. The key to telling stories is unlocking yourself and showing the audience how you feel. It is amazing how a performance can change simply by telling a performer to dress a certain way, or play certain music, or imagine her lover is standing below. Emotion is the final key to the evolution of a story and it is the difference between simply being an athlete and being an artist.
