workshops
During the festival there are several exciting workshops happening in Berlin. Here is a selection for you, to dive into circus yourself.
This is an ongoing practice, in which we work with a wide range of physical and mental abilities, moving and dancing with other people. We dynamically conduct the group through the class setting, practicing primarily two by two, but always keeping in mind the individual as part of the collective.
We regularly exchange dancing partners, which encourages new confrontations with oneself, the group, and the principles we’re exploring. In pairs or larger constellations, we focus on various aspects of weight sharing, space sharing, leading/following/listening, direct physical manipulations and the importance of footwork and floor connection for balance and availability. We run, fall, and lift each other through the curved space. We insist on practicing specific approaches and techniques/mechanics, in order to achieve more freedom and possibilities in the improvisations, where the dances happen.
