Circles of Serenity

There’s a certain way we’ve always looked at circus performances; with a kind of fascination at how people move through the air with such ease and control. It holds our attention, even if we don’t quite understand how it all comes together. Aerial artistry builds on that same sense of movement. Beneath the grace and ease is a foundation of strength, technique and practice developed over time. It all comes together through the apparatus, with each aerial form working with something different. In this experience, we’ll explore the aerial hoop (Lyra) - a circular steel ring suspended from the ceiling. You’ll begin with the basics: how to get on, how to find your balance, and how to move within it. From there, you’ll ease into spins, simple transitions and sequences that gradually come together into a short, personal flow.
