Rope and Silks Workshop with Clara Larcher

Intertwining dynamic movement and creation

When03.10.2026 & 04.10.2026
Times:  Sat 11:00-14:00
Sun 14:00-17:00
Where: Katapult, Wilhelminenhofstraße 91, 12459 Berlin (Studio 2)

REGISTRATION:  larcher.clar@gmail.com

The workshop seeks the connection between technique and research on aerial props, considered as creative elements on stage. 

It is proposed as a space to develop tools and methods for the creation of choreographic sequences on rope and silks through a sensitive listening to the aerial movement practice.

After introducing principles of dynamic movement in the air, we will study some choreographic sequences which merge an intertwined vocabulary with dynamic transitions, understanding the tasks, logics and methods they were created with . 

We will therefore work on creative impro tasks that explore the partnering relationship between the body and the prop in order to offer participants new inputs to improve their own personal language and material. 

Open to: people with a practice on aerials and interested in exploring
