Welcome to Wednesday Circus Acrobatics where we train our hands to be our feet and the other way round. This 6 week course will focus on aiming to develop strength and technique for circus acrobatic movements and balance holds such as hand balancing, core strength and fluidity in movement transitions to build core control and balance skills. We have a couple of tutors lined up who share a passion for all things circus! They will alternate their coaching slots over the weeks so check out what they are about, and get ready to turn your world upside down!
Tutors
Neil Feely
Neil is the Zen master of the balance, both on his hands and feet. When Neil is not working on his inner clown he trains with Master hand balancers such as Yuri Marmerstein, Yeray Morillas, and Yuval Ayalon.
Cormac Mohally
Cormac is Artistic Director of Circus Factory and a circus polymath. He is a longtime professional performer and makes up one half of the inimitable 'Lords of Strut'. We shall say no more!
