Workshop
I'm thinking of setting up a workshop / lecture for circussy types and parkour-ers at maybe the University in Leicester. The plan would be for a day session of lectures on injury, warm-ups and prevention of problems. To sweeten the pill I'd lay on a massage workshop too.
In addition I'd try and get a parkour expert in as well as trainers to do some actual physical training. But assume this bit won't happen at first.
Does this sound doable?
How much could I charge for a day chock full of professional teaching/workshops? I had a look at the Circus Space website and they charge £95 per person (!) for a circus taster day. I was thinking something more like £10-15 (as an initial offer) with handouts extra. I think a max of 12 people would be about right too.
Would anybody want to come?
Suggested plan for the day (Jugglers only):
10.00 - 10.30 Intro and questions answered.
10.30 - 11.00 Sudden injury (lecture) - What to do and how to avoid.
11.00 - 12.00 Repetitive injury (lecture) - What to do and how to avoid.
12.00 - 12.30 Warm-ups (Myths and falsehoods) (Lecture)
12.30 - 1.00 Break
1.00 - 2.00 Neck and back control (Workshop)
2.00 - 2.30 Practice and questions answered
2.30 - 3.30 Shoulder control (Workshop)
3.30 - 4.00 Practice and questions answered.
4.00 - finish Break then massage (Workshop).
I thought I'd put the sit down stuff at the start when people are alert and then the workshops at the end to get people moving and working rather than sitting listening again.
