In this 2-hour training course, you will learn the basics of tightrope walking together in an open group and balance at a height of 0.5 to 2 metres, as well as on the 6-metre facility with belaying offered.
We start together with a warm-up, balance and running exercises on the floor. Here you can familiarise yourself with the 6-metre balancing pole. Then it's time for balancing - at the right height for everyone.
After the warm-up, beginners receive individual instruction on the ropes and training instructions.
Advanced participants are instructed and secured on the 6-metre rope in the last hour of the workshop.
You don't need any previous experience for our workshops. As the balancing pole weighs 5-7 kg, our workshops are suitable for anyone aged 13 and over. There is no higher age limit.

Meet Clown! | Summer IntensiveWorkshop at Circus Schatzinsel with Peter Sweet
7th - 25th August, 2024 10h - 18h Daily All are welcome to come and watch: “Clown Cabaret” Circus Schatzinsel 25 August 13:30-15:00 Free Admission |
Learn the fundamentals of theatrical clowning and explore what it is about you that moves people to laughter. You will practice sharing your honest, spontaneous reactions with the audience through the theatrical form of your individual clown. From this state of play you will create clown numbers both solo and with your fellow clowns and weave them together into a show to present at the end of the workshop.
Each of us has an individual way of moving that expresses something essential about who we are. Observing and amplifying these movement paterns reveals the unique clown of each person, a universal comic form with its own physicality, rhythm, voice, costume, and comic timing. Through your clown you access the comedy that comes not just from what you do or say, but from a core part of who you are. This is a brave act of comic poetry. It opens the door to true presence on stage and the freedom to play with everything that happens to you.

‘[Re]framing’ unpacking the creation processWorkshop with Darragh McLoughlin
2. - 04.08.2024 Friday 17:00-21:00 Saturday & Sunday 11:00-18:00 (1h midday break) Katapult, Wilhelminenhofstraße 91, 12459 Berlin |
The workshop is aimed at creators from all performing arts disciplines (there may be some restrictions on regards to aerial disciplines). The participants will not be taught any material but will explore their own work within a mix of improvisation and devising techniques.
All experiences are composed of several different layers which together define the type and quality of the experience. This workshop will be an unpeeling and reassembling of those layers in order to better understand this phenomenon. It will provide tools to navigate the issues dealing with subjectivity and meaning while in the creation process.
