Stage-acrobatics
Kompani Komedi gives workshops in stage-acrobatics. We work either with easier acrobatics for beginners or more advanced flips and somersaults and other acrobatics. But our goal in always to put the acrobatics into a theatrical context where it does not feel strained. In this way we turn both to you who never worked with physical training or to you who have been working with acrobatics or gymnastics.
Mostly we work with two person-acrobatics, or acrobatics that don't need a lot of people, to make it easier to create dramatic situations. Usually we start by working with easier jumps and somersaults and later continue to more advanced acrobatics.
Since we don't want to do "circus-acrobatics" it is important to use the acrobatics as something that will lift a scene, something like putting music to a scene, instead of being a number where one uses what we call "exhibitionist-acrobatics". We are also testing how to use acrobatics in different theatrical genres. We also want the participants to have the possibility to develop an acrobatic imaginative power. We do this by examining (and stretching) our physical limits, with different lifts and jumps, to see what our bodies are able to do.
