Acrobatic Lifting Workshop【French May Arts Festival 2024】French May Arts Festival
Challenge yourself to lift and fly!
Compagnie XY is firmly rooted in the collective practice of acrobatics and lifts. This is why they organise workshops based on physical exercise, focusing on the development of body awareness, self-confidence and trust in others, daring to let go, learning to let someone else take your weight, and, conversely, learning to receive and take responsibility from someone else.
In this workshop, the artists will teach participants how to perform acrobatic lifts. Through numerous games and exercises, the artists and participants will together learn more about bodies, their strengths, and limitations. By exploring expanding your body awareness with acrobatics you will learn more about your own personal capabilities and how pooling collective strengths through lifts can take us to greater heights.
