Circus Improvisation and Exploration Masterclass | Sense Space

Circus Factory along with the National Circus Festival of Ireland, Fidget Feet and the Irish Aerial Creation Centre are thrilled to offer a masterclass in Circus Improvisation and Exploration 'Sense Space' with Natalie Oleinik and Joachim Ciocca.

'Sense Space'  is open to all disciplines, focusing on circus improvisation and exploration.

The masterclass is a culmination of Natalie’s 13-year career as a circus performer and creator,  sharing the tools and techniques that she has learned and developed.

The workshop focuses on creating: 
* a safe space, where experimentation is encouraged
* a shared space, where new discoveries are discussed
* a new space, to let ourselves be surprised by what we find

As part of the workshop materials, you will receive an illustrated and interactive booklet that guides the user through a series of improvisations using movement, objects, space, imagination and drawing to reflect on circus practice and habits.

The workshop has been delivered in La Volière, Saint-Nazaire, France, Santa Barbara Centre for Aerial Dance, USA and Chapidock, Nantes, France. We’re delighted to bring this Masterclass for the first time to Ireland.

Natalie is an experienced artist who works mainly with aerial disciplines, specifically aerial rope. Her workshop is designed to be open to all disciplines and has been followed with aerials, tight wire and ground based work. Natalie created this workshop to focus on the circus artists process, sharing her own experience on making new work, her thoughts and reflections on how material is made.
