Circus Creation Skills | The Oxytocin Project
Circus Factory Cork is delighted to host an aerial Circus Creation Skills workshop
Workshop Details
Come learn how to release your creativity within the safe container of this workshop.
Explore your need for self expression through creative tasks, whether you are getting ready for an imminent cabaret stage or you are simply wanting to dip your toe in the liberating feeling of artistic play. This, is the workshop for you. We will try multiple specific structured tasks over the two days to invite you into creative freedom. These tasks act as supports that hold you so you, well you can unleash all your wildest ideas.
Options for group work or solo, duets, trios and beyond. All possible.
Art is any way that an individual expresses themselves to share their perspective.
When you tell a story that's an art. You will learn how to tell narrative stories with circus as well as create new movement language from scratch and it will all feel natural and fun. GRAB that post Christmas momentum to catapult you out of the winter blues ... and into the New Year with an creative BLISS BOMB of ALL the natural highs from Circus.
Our favourite element is the benefits of becoming a part of our shared circus community. Come join Chloé Pisco as she creates a safe, supportive space that allows you to challenge your own expectations - and be positively surprised!
Who is this workshop for?
Improvers to Advanced, (we can meet a range of needs).

Why You Should Attend
To expand their creative freedom! And play.
To learn structured tasks, step by step to create material in your favourite discipline in circus.
To do something that will make you feel safe to be feel seen. The whole point of art is to express your perspective of your own existence. And share it. So others will relate.
Start the new year off with a BANG! Shake off the winter Blues, in a group setting = that magical circus OXYTOCIN! That warm feeling of belonging to a community and all having a common goal of building a group acrobalance, for example.
Increased sense of self-confidence, and for most, an augmented awareness of how much more you can do than you had ever realised
