How to Float: C-shaping Beyond Roll-ups
With Cody Hayman
About This Workshop
Take c-shaping beyond roll-ups and explore how to use it with balances, beats, wraps, and releases. We’ll apply tempo to our c-shaping to blend it with dynamic twists, use it to freeze in unexpected balances, and apply it to drops and wraps to create movement patterns that are constantly spiraling, tilting, and twisting.

About The Coach
Cody Hayman found the circus in Olympia, WA in 2009, where he was a founding member of Airbound Underground and an instructor at SANCA. Though he started as a rope artist, Cody has picked up many other circus disciplines in the years since, including trapeze, hair hanging, and clowning. He has always had a passion for community-based circus performance, producing countless shows in Olympia and New Orleans, as well as performing and teaching all over the country for events like Sh’Bang, Atlanta Aerial Arts Festival, InFringe Fest New Orleans, and others.
Cody’s approach to teaching mirrors his approach to performing: always with a sense of curiosity, enthusiasm, and a dash of flamboyance.
