FABRIC

Fabric – Skilled/Advanced

10.15am – 11.45am – Week 1
Space C, Central Space, close to exit – Tutor Kate Dunne

Exploring Choreography, Flow & Creativity

This class is designed for experienced aerialists looking to expand their creative movement and deepen their understanding of aerial silks pathways. Kate’s approach to choreography blends structured and unstructured improvisation, challenging students to explore fluid transitions, shifting directions, and dynamic sequences.

Participants will be guided through brain-teasing choreography that encourages personal adaptation and creative expression. Expect a focus on flowy pathways, innovative applications of technical skills, and smooth integration of elements such as simple rolls, side planche, and back balances.

Pre-requisites:
– Strong understanding of aerial silks pathways (a well-developed “fabric brain”)
– Basic rolling technique
– Comfortable with back balance and weight shifts
– Good stamina for sustained aerial work

Join Kate for an inspiring session where technique meets artistry, and explore new ways to trust and interact with the silks!

Fabric – Intermediate and up

Fabric – Improver Up

10.15am – 11.45am – Week 2
Space E, Central Space, close to stage – Tutor Ana Prada

This class is open to movers and aerialists at entry level and above. You should be able to hold your own body weight in your arms but no prior fabric experience is required. We’ll begin each class learning basic exercises on the floor to understand movement paths and connection, using core connection and breath as support and guide to start climbing and learning movements and sequences.

Fabric – Intermediate and up

12pm – 1.30pm – Week 2
Space E, Central Space, close to stage – Tutor – Ana Prada

The focus of this class will be working with a fluid quality of movement in the air, using technical movements as a base, but giving equal importance to transitions and preparations. We will play with the ideas of working in the air horizontally, 360 degrees; using spirals, breathing, and searching for our dance from the centre, in the air.
Open to aerialists who have been training for at least a year with a regular practice and are comfortable with inversions, hip key, cross-back straddle, and foot lock in the air seeking to level up in skills and technique.
