WORKSHOPS
DYNAMIC TECHNIQUE ON AERIAL ROPE AND SILKS
This workshop focuses on improving the participants' proficiency of aerial rope and aerial silks, emphasizing proper body alignment, dynamic technique and physical preparation. The workshop begins with a dynamic floor-based warm-up that develops an understanding of the body positions and muscular engagement required for dynamic techniques in the air.
Following this, we explore different rope technique families (such as scorpions, rolls, and cartwheels). The workshop breaks down dynamic skills into clear progressions, while offering variations at different levels of difficulty within each technique family.
For: Everyone who practices aerial rope or aerial silk. We offer the workshop for different levels
Duration: 2h-6h depending on the level
CREATING WITHIN A COLLECTIVE
The workshop explores methods of collective creation through movement, observation, feedback, and collaborative composition.
Starting with introductions and an emotional check-in, followed by a group warm-up emphasizing space awareness and cooperation.
Starting from individual material, participants develop creative sequences and engage in different exercises that encourage shared authorship and multiple perspectives. Through role-plays, verbal reflection, and collective composition, we investigate how different creative roles and ways of seeing can enrich the artistic process. Participants deepen their understanding of collaboration by observing, interpreting, and transforming movement material together. The methods shared in the workshop support the development of collaborative practices within circus creation.
For: Circus artists, students, and movers interested in collaborative creation and collective artistic processes. No previous experience with devising methods is required.
Duration: 4h
MOVEMENT RESEARCH ON AERIAL DISCIPLINES
The workshop explores methods of researching movement in aerial disciplines through prompts, improvisation, and composition on the floor and in the air. Each participant on their own discipline. Participants expand their understanding of movement possibilities and develop their personal movement language. Through solo, group or couple exercises we will deepen our understanding of how observation of the others can support our research process. The methods shared in the workshop help to expand our creativity and expressive possibilities on aerial disciplines.
For: Everyone who practices an aerial circus discipline and is open for going beyond technique and improvisation. Not for total beginners, the participants should be comfortable to move freely on their discipline
Duration: 3h
SUPPORTING BODY
This workshop offers a physical exploration of trust, interdependence, and community. By engaging in simple physical exercises rooted in presence, trust, and mutual care, the workshop invites a collective reflection on support both as a bodily action and as a social gesture.
Through group and partner exercises, participants investigate the dynamic between supporting and being supported. Moving together creates a space for connection, awareness, and shared experience. The workshop concludes with a group reflection, inviting participants to share and exchange their embodied experiences.
We offer the additional option to create a showing with the participants in public space, sharing the material which we explored in the workshop. Through performative experiments, participants investigate the role of bodies in public space, rethinking how we relate to one another and to our surroundings.
For: everyone, no physical practice necessary
Duration: 3h
