Workshops for Students - Aerial, Dance and Physical Theatre

Designed for students of physical theatre or dancers who wish to explore how Circus techniques can be applied to their training and how those may be invigorated with a basic knowledge of aerial and acrobatic skill.

Using theatre games and improvisation techniques, this is for students who want to explore the difficulties that being in the air presents. To be in the air for a reason is the way theatre meets dance/ circus.

Not learning Circus but acting, moving with ropes and slings. Discovering how a performer's training can find new ways of moving in the air.

Company F.Z's work covers contentious issues, investigating the depths and heights of human experience with both honesty and humour, finding redemption in life's most difficult and challenging moments.

Open to anyone in physical theatre or dance education.
