Week 2: Upswing: Aerialists-in-Residence
Wed 8 – Sun 12 July
Artistic Director of Upswing, Vicki Amedume, leads an exciting week of aerial activity in Theatre Square. Vicki’s current project, Loved Up, is a lively expression of youthful romance on bungees, with a heavy breakdance influence. There will be open floor sessions for anyone to show off their breakin’ skills as well as Upswing Hotshots, new pieces by a variety of aerial artists. There is also the chance to experience flying skills and bungee technique with workshops for young people, for breakdancers and for the over 50s.
All Bungee Workshops: sign up in the Square an hour before the start, limited places.
Minimum age 8.
Over-50s Aerial Dance Workshops: book in advance on 20 7452 3928. ALL FREE
Wear loose-fitting trousers (no skirts, please!) and trainers.
