Description :

This workshop is for anyone looking to level up their aerial hoop practice by adding dynamic movements to their vocabulary. We’ll start by learning a few simple yet punchy moves, including a few classic rolls and beat tricks, as well as several less common non-release drops and twists. We’ll then break dynamic technique down into core pathways and principles to help lay the foundation for more advanced dynamic moves.

While the workshop will cover drills and progressions to give students tools to work towards their goals, it aims to relay these essentials in the form of bridging skills that offer students chances to succeed and add new tricks/transitions to their vocabulary in order to build confidence with dynamic movement in the air. Participants will leave the workshop with a few funky new moves to play with and a clear set of tools to help them progress towards advanced dynamic tricks.

About the Instructor: 

Sarah Norden (she/they) is an emerging circus performer, creator, and researcher based in Tiohtià:ke/Montréal. She is a graduate of École nationale de cirque specializing in aerial hoop. She also has significant experience with dance, clowning, and group acrobatics, and enjoys engaging with circus off-stage as a coach, dramaturg, and researcher.

Before pursuing circus professionally, Sarah earned a BA from Wesleyan University, where they studied the intersection of science, art, ethics, and the environment. Their approach to circus is shaped by this circuitous path: they like to think about movement and move about thinking. Their recent creative interests include discomfort, queer ecology, and the materiality of the body.

As a coach, Sarah is passionate about teaching aerial research skills, deconstructing mainstream circus aesthetics, and mentoring students to build sustainable, nurturing relationships with training and creation. She loves views that make you whoop and holler, books that make you stay up all night, and friends that make you feel at home in the world.
