Aerial Intensive

Last year marked an exciting new chapter for us as we ventured into aerial practice for our upcoming show, Up in the Sky. In December, many of you joined our Vertical Dance & Aerial Dance Harness intensive workshops for Intermediate and Advanced levels, led by the incredible Lindsey Butcher (Gravity & Levity). We loved producing and delivering this project in partnership with Imagineer Productions as part of Powerhouse Pro, made possible with support from the West Midlands Combined Authority Commonwealth Games Legacy Fund.

Thank you to everyone who took part and all our partners and supporters and all of the lovely feedback we’ve received from all the participants:

“I feel like I learned loads and have come away from this week with loads of inspiration.“

“The practitioners are so brilliant, highly-skilled & professional.”

“I loved the mix of dance-aerial approaches with both creative play and self-movement.”
