LIVORNO, OCTOBER 12TH,13TH AND 14TH, 2010,\u00a0 6\u00b0 APTPI ITALIAN SUSCON<\/h4>\n

6th Italian\u00a0 suscon, 3 days, more than 70 attendees, 50% foreigners, 50 suspensions, 3 car pulling, more than 300 hooks used, 4 indoor\u00a0 rigging points, 1 outdoor rigging point, 3 speakers, 4 lessons.<\/p>\n

These figures makes this event one of the most important in Europe.<\/p>\n

Everything took place in the same site of the past Italian suscon in 2009: the \u201cRegina del Mare\u201d resort in Livorno has\u00a0 established itself as a perfect location for a suscon; we had the chance to set both indoor and outdoor rigging points, furthermore the\u00a0 good hospitality and the Tuscan cooking made everything cosy and warm.<\/p>\n

Up to this time we made six suscon ,\u00a0 three\u00a0 in Amelia, near Terni,\u00a0 the 4th in Venice and the last two in Livorno\u00a0 where we\u2019re planning to do the next one.<\/p>\n

50 % of the attendees, more than 70 in all, were Italians; most of them were new to the body suspension world\u00a0 and we really \u00a0hope they went through\u00a0 a very positive experience. The other ones\u00a0 were\u00a0 foreigners \u00a0coming from Germany, Holland, Great Britain, Norway, Denmark , Croatia and United States.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s review some figures.
\n50 suspensions took place in three days,\u00a0 some were really unusual, like the Reverse Lotus and the Twin Lotus, some, among the static suspensions, were really evocative (see pics).<\/p>\n

As\u00a0 a novelty , thanks to\u00a0 this location,\u00a0 this year\u00a0 we had\u00a0 also 3 car pulling.
\nWe used 300 hooks\u00a0 to make all the participants live the experience of \u00a0suspension.
\nWe set 4 indoor rigging points for \u00a0static and dynamic suspensions\u00a0 and 1 outdoor rigging point, used for the spinning beam too, so people had the chance to experience an open-air suspension.<\/p>\n

There were 3 speakers:\u00a0Havve Fjel<\/strong>l<\/strong>, from Norway held\u00a0 the lesson\u00a0\u201c Suspension styles and rigging variations\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>He and\u00a0Christiane Lofblad<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0attended all our events\u00a0 and\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>collaborate with APTPI since the very first Italian Suscon.
\nCere Coichetti\u00a0<\/strong>from United States, member of the\u00a0\u00a0Rite of Passage Suspension Team,\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0held the class\u00a0\u00a0\u201cBasic rigging: introduction\u00a0 and\u00a0 in-depth examination. How to choose safe materials and tools.\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Allen Falkner\u00a0<\/strong>from United States; he is considered the Father of Modern Suspension and he first organized the events now known all over the world as Suscons. We are very proud we had him in Italy for the very first time.<\/p>\n

For further infos about him you can search in internet\u00a0 or\u00a0 visit\u00a0www.suspension.org<\/a>\u00a0 . He held two classes:\u00a0\u201cHistory of Modern Suspension. A look at the different cultures have affected the art of body suspension\u201d\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0\u201c Suspension Mechanics. From rigging to anatomy, the physic behind body suspension\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

APTPI\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0is\u00a0 really pleased with this Suscon and give thanks to all the sponsors, attendees , volunteers and speakers , renewing the invitation for the next 7th Italian\u00a0 Suscon in 2011.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
