What happens when five partner acrobats start moving together, and with the audience? How can they transform a handshake, an embrace, a simple pat on the shoulder or a firm greeting into a whirlwind encounter full of spectacular acrobatics?
For this performance, THERE THERE Company works with a group of local participants. As a participant, you do not need any prior experience. In preparation for the performances on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 June, you will take part in a workshop where you will be introduced, in an accessible way, to the basic principles of partner acrobatics.
What can you expect?
A free physical workshop in which professional performers guide you through simple, sometimes dance-like movements from partner acrobatics. THERE THERE Company refers to these as ‘acrobatic encounters’.
Who can take part?
– Anyone aged 16 and above.
– You are curious about the working methods of THERE THERE Company and about the acrobat within yourself and the other participants.
– There are no minimum physical requirements. THERE THERE Company enjoys working with the talents and limitations that each participant brings. That is part of the concept.
Above all, you bring a willingness to experience something new.
What about safety?
Physical and emotional safety are a priority. You can decide for yourself what you take part in and what you do not. We ensure a safe environment to avoid accidents and discomfort.
