Multi-Apparatus
This workshop explores the expressive side of aerial arts, combining movement, emotion, character, and theatrical presence. Created by Rain Anya and Sarah Bebe Holmes, the Vertical Theatre Method has been evolving since 2007, helping aerialists craft authentic and innovative performances.
Through structured improvisation and physical theatre techniques, you’ll gain tools to expand your performative range and connect with audiences on a deeper level.
Whether you’re just starting to explore performance or are an experienced practitioner looking to expand your repertoire, this workshop welcomes all levels of experience. Ideal for aerialists comfortable on their apparatus, it encourages you to move beyond tricks and discover your unique aerial voice through creativity and guided exploration.
