Dissecting Aerial 2022
Sat 15 – Sun 16 January 2022
Dissecting Aerial 2022 is going to be available globally for the first time. Delivered live and in-person in Brighton AND live-streamed internationally so you can tune in from where ever you are in the world.
The healthier aerial symposium will showcase practice, pedagogical and personal approaches to healthy and sustainable practice from aerial artists, researchers, body workers, medical and sports science practitioners from across the globe. From the Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts in Brighton, world renowned practitioners and speakers will lead us through 12 different presentations and practical sessions.
Concerned about inter/national travel but still want to take part in Dissecting Aerial 2022? Why not set up a Virtual Studio Hub with your local community. If you run an aerial organisation / training centre / have a collective of artists you work with, you can choose to choose to live-stream the event to your local studio so your team/community can safely gather, connect to us virtually in the UK and participate live in-person in your local area. If you have any questions about this, contact us.
We are all feeling the need to return to practice, rebuild and nurture our aerial community and we are also keenly aware of the difficulties, disparities and risks involved with international travel right now. Hopefully maintaining connections in-person and virtually, locally and globally, we can celebrate what unites us: our mutual passions for aerial practice and to revel in the diversity of those.
