***BOOST TUTOR ANNOUNCEMENT 7***

Bio:

My name is Chloe Commins, I am a Dublin based aerial performer and instructor who specialises in aerial hoop and fabric.

In the last few years, I have performed regionally and internationally, along with producing the Wild Roots Circus Cabaret 2022 - 2023.

I have been coaching aerial since 2019 and most recently have hosted workshops at the Irish Aerial Creation Centre.

In 2023, I presented RESONANCE - An aerial theatre piece with takes inspiration from my experience growing up CODA (child of Deaf Adult) and includes ISL (Irish sign language) physical theatre and aerial hoop.

Course Description:

The aerial classes taught by two tutors will cover four different apparatuses, namely fabric, hoop, rope and trapeze. Students will be guided through various warm up, conditioning and flexibility exercises tailored to their level and needs, to ensure their bodies are well prepared for the technical development in the air. The classes will ensure students learn high-level skills, such as spinning, dynamics and roll ups on all kinds of apparatus. Through introducing sequences and choreography creation, they will be encouraged to use these technical skills to establish their own aerial language and style while being supported by the tutors throughout the process. The course will conclude with a presentation of an act, with our goal being that the students will confidently walk away with a body of work and ready to kick start their circus career.
