This workshop dives into the raw, physical conversation of acrobatic contact improvisation—where both structure and spontaneity are at play. Learn the mechanics of momentum, weight-sharing, falling, catching, and your body in space. Train your body to move with precision while staying open to the unexpected. Explore how chaos isn’t just disorder—it’s opportunity. A chance to adapt, react, and respond. Through floorwork, lifts, rolls, and partner/group interactions, you’ll build trust, refine technique, and ability to tune in. Whether you crave structure or thrive in spontaneity. Come ready to move, experiment, and be challenged. Dynamic movement – A mix of acrobatics, floor work, solo practices and contact improvisation.
