Fluid balance program helps you become more aware of your body balance in any situation/position and lets you feel how it flows across the axis of the body. The aim is to explore the possibilities of smooth transitions between dynamic and static techniques. We discover the particular movement potential of each participant. Injuries, age and/or physical impairments will not interfere with performance – fluid balance is suitable for all body types. The program is inspired by our knowledge of dance, capoeira, circus, acrobatics and theatre; by fusing these physical/creative disciplines we have developed a specific method and movement vocabulary which we share through our artistic production and educational programs.

The goal of the workshop is to give to students the necessary building blocks with which they can create unique flow - by connecting transitions, rolls, jumps, dives and acrobatic movements in endless continuum. We will use various techniques from contemporary dance, capoeira and circus acrobatics; but most important we will strive to economize the transitions from one element to the other, through effortless flow of the spiral.
