Act Creation 

/ with Lindsey Butcher (2020)

Come with an idea, or a music track that inspires you to move, or an image or emotion that you want to explore, together with a willingness to investigate on your chosen piece of aerial equipment or on the floor. 

Expect to be gently encouraged to be braver and dig deeper to challenge and surprise yourself. This is your opportunity to learn more about your creative process.

Act Creation Performance Lab

/ with Chantal McCormick (2019)

This is for participants with strong technical experience on one aerial apparatus, trapeze, fabric, hoop and rope to arrive with a short sequence of material that you are very comfortable with. NB If you wish to bring your own equipment to rig for this class we will do our best to accommodate that.

Come with an open mind and heart to play, explore and share as a group, open to supporting each other in a safe creative environment. Chantal will use theatre games and choreographic exercises to help develop aerial material, focusing on how to express emotions and play with scale on aerial equipment. Our goal is to create ease of moving in and out of the floor and up and off the equipment and conveying your story to the audience. The end result is not important, more emphasis on process, although as a group the focus is to create a piece to be performed as part of the Emma Insley cabaret night. Please make sure you are free for the last Saturday of the festival. Please bring a note pad and pen/pencil with you.

Please Note: Applicants will need to submit a video to be accepted to this class.
