Artist Training: Pro Intensive 2026
Artist Training: Pro Intensive 2026
Join us for a special two-day Powerhouse Pro intensive, delivered in collaboration with Imagineer Productions and Off The Wall Aerial Dance
Designed for professional aerialists, dancers and physical performers, this collaborative intensive offers the opportunity to deepen your practice, expand your creative range and learn alongside two companies working at the forefront of contemporary aerial performance.
Bringing together the distinctive approaches of our work and Off The Wall Aerial Dance, the intensive blends technical training, creative exploration and performance-making. Across two dynamic days, you’ll develop skills in aerial dance harness and vertical dance, building confidence, movement vocabulary and new ways of working in the air.
Designed to support both technical development and creative exploration, this intensive is ideal for professional performers and performance makers looking to challenge their practice and discover new creative approaches.
What you’ll explore
Low-Level Harness & Physical Theatre
Working with Highly Sprung Performance, you’ll develop technique in front, side and back harness pick-ups whilst exploring how aerial movement can support storytelling, character and physical performance. Through practical exercises and creative tasks you’ll build movement vocabulary and investigate how aerial work can become an expressive performance tool.
Vertical Dance & Choreography
Led by Off The Wall Aerial Dance, you’ll work on the vertical dance wall, developing confidence, control and dynamic movement vocabulary. Sessions explore contemporary dance techniques in harness alongside choreographic approaches, partner work and creative exploration of gravity, space and connection.
Who is it for?
This intensive is aimed at professional artists and experienced performers working in aerial, dance, circus or physical theatre.
Previous experience using aerial harness is essential.
