Aerial yoga was invented by Christopher Harrison, a gymnast and a Broadway choreographer. He made it an interesting combination of yoga, Pilates, dance, gymnastics, calisthenics and aerial acrobatics. Unlike traditional yoga, you don’t do aerial yoga on the floor but in the air a few feet above the ground in a hammock specially designed for the purpose hanging down from a hook in the ceiling. Not to worry, it can easily bear the weight of even the fattest man on earth! You can raise or lower the height of the hammock according to your preferences. In fact it acts like a swing completely supporting your body. You can also move forward or backward as required by the yoga pose you decide to do on the hammock. You will be surprised to note that the hammock makes even the most difficult postures to perform on floor much easier to do on a hammock. Moreover the swinging quality of the hammock encourages you to add your own innovative varieties to them. And since you have to hold up your wei

We use our voices all the time to communicate. Communication is the basis of conversation. Without conversation we cannot really make sense of one another or of the world around us. One of the most common ways of communication and conversation is through speech and talking. We are constantly using our voice to get and give information or tell one another our thoughts and desires. Voice modulation is the art of working on the pitch and tempo of the voice to inform people of a certain piece of information or a certain mood or feeling with clarity. It is a very unique art field that can help the audience understand the information or the sentiment of the dialogue. This is full of intention and works on better enunciation skills so the words can be heard clearly and with no apprehension or doubt. Doubt or mixed up dialogues are hardly ever an intention in film or audio work unless it is a sort of experimental film or music making experiment, which involves a lot more layers of post product

Script writing is a very meticulous art form that involves understanding many technical things like form, character, plot, structure, story, emotional graph, beat, rhythm etc.It involves a great deal of reading and watching.  What is the most selling genre of all time? It is drama. This is because drama has a feeling based structure of storytelling that makes the heart race or fall. It makes one feel elevated or really down too. Script writing classes are a great way of understanding life as you start noticing different people and think about how they deal with life. It is in a way also a documentary study of all the lives that exist around you. You do it by going deeper into how you think people will act and react to different situations. Inspiration from reality is a great way of studying character development for script writing. Read further…

1. What does it take to be a director? 2. How is a theatre director different from a film director? 3. What are the principles of direction and what are the rules of direction? 4. Are there any rules? 5. What about ethical and moral rules? A director clearly has a lot of power to make important decisions. But that also invests the idea of responsible and ethical decision making on the director. At FLUX, we offer theatre direction classes. These are not only process driven but also take into account theoretical and ethical direction. As an actor, the actor entrusts the director with him or herself. Thus it becomes the director’s responsibility to choreograph the piece and the people with love and care. Many directors can easily look at actors as resources. They just forget they are human beings who feel and get affected by their role. At FLUX, we also make sure that we train our budding directors into responsible and caring people first. They must learn how to manage power dynam

Do you know what acting really means and what all it entails? Acting actually means impersonating someone in order to narrate one’s story through adopting her or his character. Character of a person includes his or her expression, mannerism, body posture, gait, aspirations, actions, interactions, likes, dislikes and above all one’s worldview. Can you adopt someone’s character for a while in order to narrate his or her story? It requires a high degree of imagination. It also requires physical and emotional expression. You also need to project your voice with a high degree of clarity. And you need to do it along with adopting all kinds of modulations in it. In fact, you should be able to emulate various different dialects and accents. An actor should also be trained to improvise various different situations without rehearsals done for the same. A full-fledged acting training also includes singing, auditioning and physical agility. Read more…

There is something very beautiful about seeing a performer on stage that is truly alive, present and vulnerable. Without even one of these things, the performance falls flat.

Dance is one of the oldest forms of art in the world. From as far back, as archaeologists tell, dancing has always been a part of celebration and ritual in all cultures. Ancient sub-Saharan African dances were used to celebrate births, to reinforce certain values, and for fun. In Latin America, dance is deeply ingrained in the culture and everyday life. Indian classical dances draw on ancient motives that are still used in dance today. The Middle East is famous for dances in which participants usually link arms. People travel to Turkey just to see the famous whirling dervish dances. When we look to the Western world, we see many folk dances. The influence that the French dance form of ballet has had cannot be understated. Dance was polite and refined in the renaissance era. But as we moved into more modern times, different forms were born. Dancers also made new adjustments and movements to their old routines. Modern dance was born in the United States in the late 19th century and early

Children love to move. When you have a squirming child in your lap at a restaurant, it can be annoying. But the truth is when we get old we don’t have that energy and that flexibility. The flexibility it takes to wiggle out of your mom’s lap so you can run around the restaurant yelling as loud as you can. Or playing, or dancing or else doing anything that is fun! And while we can admire and envy the energy, it does need an outlet. Starting dance at a young age can awaken a passion in a child that can last a lifetime. It can be their eternal hobby, or even their profession later in life! Who knows what future has in store for them? It can be something they just enjoy. It doesn’t matter what it turns them into – because that is all their choice. Read further…

Contemporary dance actually borrows a lot from Yoga. Our indo contemporary dance classes will concentrate on the following things: ·          Technique ·          Feeling ·          Rhythm ·          Flexibility Let us explore a bit more of each of these terms.

Therefore, even our pieces of choreography and classes work on the idea of feeling. And we feel not only our emotions but also our body. Our classes encourage you to make the body and mind connection. We therefore speak a lot about the body and how it is feeling.

Jazz is a form of music that arose in the late 1800’s in the Southern United States. Since then, it has taken many forms and fused with so many forms of music. And where music goes, dance follows.

Hip Hop Culture & Community The Hip Hop culture is the coolest and grooviest culture that is a celebration of art, freedom and knowledge sharing. One of the key areas that hip hop focuses is on is the celebration of life. Hip hop arose in a time where there was a lack of fun, excitement. People needed to let loose and really enjoy themselves. The hip hop culture started in Africa after which it traveled the entire world and stuck its ground. It started with old school beats and baggy clothes. In fact, it started with the need to rejoice in life with the necessity of bonding. It is still continuing the same journey. The  Spirit of Freedom and Joy We believe in this spirit of freedom and joy. That is why we are launching a 75 hour course for professional hip hop dance classes in Bangalore.

Dance Classes in Bangalore Indiranagar in the Dance School at FLUX   Dance is the music of the body. It’s the visual music, not auditory. When accompanied with auditory music, dance becomes an audio-visual performance. Even without an audio accompaniment, the visual music of dance is complete in itself. The melody of the body movement makes dance a unique expressive art in itself. Everyone moves in one’s own unique way. This uniqueness of movement becomes one’s unique signature when it comes to expressing one’s soul through one’s dance movement. Therefore when it comes to learning dance, the first question that arises is which dance form you would like to learn? There are so many different forms available in the various dance schools and dance studios nearby. Read further…

I often wondered in my early years what the word Yoga actually meant until I studied a course of Sanskrit language in my school. In fact Yoga is a Sanskrit word that literally translates to addition. Hence Yoga stands for joining together through adding. That is how, by addition, the discipline of Yoga aims at combining the body, the mind and the soul into one single whole in which there are no contradictions left at any level, be it separately in between them or else in the conflicting fragments of each one of them individually. Yoga got formulated as early as around 600 BC, but it took another one thousand years to be established as a full-fledged discipline with the coming of Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Pilates is a form of mindfulness. It is a workout that works on alignment of the body and core strengthening. It also helps you raise your awareness of the different body parts and muscle groups in your body. Keep reading...
