Don't fear, kids and parents - you are far from forgotten about...

We are reopening for private sessions as of June 8th 2020, and you are invited to join in on those, and get back in aerial shape! For now, we are not able to resume the Kids Performance Group meetings, but are looking into how we can restructure the program to continue as soon as possible. Likely, our planned show and even our sessions will look very different from originally planned, but the skill development, the experience and the creativity cultivated will remain the same. So far our current crew has a very solid show idea, and lots of skills under their belt. Even with restructuring, we will not lose the essence of the show, the teamwork or dampen the fabulous skills acquired.

If you have any questions, please email Lucy at theaeriallabemail@gmail.com, and watch your email for further announcements :)
The Aerial Lab’s Kids Performance Group is a pre-professional training opportunity for all circus enthusiasts aged 8-16! Whether your child aspires to run away and join the circus, or if the aerial arts are a well-loved hobby that brings joy to their lives, this training program will offer a community of up to 14 enthusiasts the opportunity of working together for 5 months on their aerial skills, and introduce them to other circus skills, rigging theory, dance and acting. They will experience the world of performance, from the ideas stage all the way through the challenging and exciting journeys of creativity, practice and training silliness … until they reach the actual stage and put on a show for the local community. Other performance opportunities will be available too, along with further training opportunities in open climbs, and at workshops with visiting trainers from out of town.

Requirements:
  • Must be between 8-16 (14 max participants)
  • Must be attending, at-minimum, our Kids Intermediate Level Fabrics (or equivalent if trained at another studio)
  • Interested students must audition for the group – they need to perform a unique SOLO audition piece, created by the student. Solo must be between 90 seconds to 3mins long
  • Must be able to attend the weekly rehearsal session plus at least one other aerial class each week

If your child is interested in our Kids Performance Group, but is a beginner, please discuss this with their teacher. We run this program every 6 months, so they can make sure your child is taking adequate training to be ready for the next program :)
