The company’s outreach activities are multi-faceted and specifically designed for the audience involved (beginners, amateurs and circus professionals of all ages).

While familiarising the participants to our approach of the acrobatic movement - which is closely related to contact dance – we offer a comprehensive physical training based on circus and dance skills, combining it with an investigation into the organic material.

One of the aims is for the partakers to relearn to be in relationship with the Other, giving them an opportunity to decontextualize physical contact from its social meaning, to get familiar with touch again and consider the body as a malleable and transformable material – what we call body material – within a creative context.

We use acrobatics to depict feelings and stories.

These workshops offer a training based on artistic and physical skills. They provide teaching methods that encourage mobility, cooperation and curiosity.

 

We have designed specific workshops according to our productions:
