Movements often involve wrapping, twisting, and contorting the body around the straps while maintaining balance and control. Artists will incorporate spins, drops, flips, and other dynamic movements to create visually stunning routines.
This is not for the absolute beginner with no aerial or trained-movement experience. We recommend that you train fabric or rope for a few months first and take one of our popular Condiflex or PuBH classes to prepare and prime the body.
Come for the full camp @ €100 per child, or just book in for a day or two @ €40 per day. Suitable for complete beginners as well as those who want to stay connected with the circus arts practice during the holidays (or who want to show-off their skills to their friends).
Bookings are now open on our Website.
Note: this is included in the CREATE project.

An integral part of the CREATE project are our team of OUTSIDE EYES. Their purpose is to support the artists in making decisions about their emerging research and act creation. An Outside Eye holds the space for the artist whilst also offering an alternative point-of-view. They are continually drawing from their own expertise and experience.
