Improver Fabric Technique 
/ with Lily Rubin-Miller (2026)
For silks students with some experience under their belt, this weeklong workshop will help you develop your aerial skills and take your practice to the next level. We will focus on technical skills, drills, theory, and technique, then string everything together with creative sequencing. You will walk away with new moves and sequences, a deeper understanding of wrap theory, and a grasp of key technique concepts that will inform the rest of your aerial practice moving forward.
Prerequisites: Can hipkey in the air and climb to the top of a 20 ft / 6m silk 2x in a row (climb of your choice)
Improver Fabric Technique
/ with Gabriela Sissons (2025)
Classes will include floor work, creative sequences, locks, spins and drops (for those who are comfortable with drops) but most importantly, working on the important moments in between, like how to dance your wraps, create gorgeous lines and utilise every part of your body in your aerial movements, making the simplest of moves look impressive and using the fabric as an extension of your body and aerial movements.
There will be fun and creative exercises that unleash your creative powers, working with your own unique style and flair, whether it is to help you create an aerial routine or simply to look and feel more confident in the air.
Prerequisites: Regular and Russian climbs, dancer’s foot locks in the air, you are able to hold a hip key.

Advanced Fabric Technique
/ with Danilo Pacheco (2026)
The classes aims to refine basic movements, explore swings, introduce dynamics, and teach elements from Danilo’s personal silks/rope vocabulary. The goal is to provide students with exercises that develop body awareness and prepare them to execute dynamic movements such as inlock, twist, and others, utilizing the fabric’s flexibility to enhance technique.
The second focus of the classes are also dedicated to exploring different movement qualities, new pathways, and rhythms. The objective is to stimulate participants’ creativity through exercises that encourage the creation of original sequences and installations. The proposal is to bring a choreographic perspective from the world of dance into circus arts, enriching movements and breaking away from traditional clichés of climbs, tricks, and predictable combinations in aerial performances. This approach seeks to move toward a broader and more innovative perspective, redefining what an aerial act can be.
A mix of technical and artistic tools will be shared with the students
