ARTISTS ABOUT THEIR CREATION TIRA:
Tira is a game about the curiosity of establishing new limits in your own world. It is drawing limits for the pleasure of breaking them.

Tira is sincerity, it is the complicity of the looks.

Tira is transformation, a string becomes everything: the kiss of the grandmother you hated so much when you were little, the caress of someone who is no longer there, the realisation that you are not the woman they expected you to be, but in the end it’s not so bad…

“In this workshop I’ll pass on some key elements that I have discovered myself and learnt along the way of my fourteen years of aerial practice that you can implement into your everyday training. This workshop will specialise in delivering technical understanding for vertical aerials, therefore — this workshop is ideal for anyone looking to improve on rope and silk.

I will share combinations and transition as well as key conditioning techniques that can unfold into creative pathways that will aim to achieve a fluid and dynamic skillset through movement efficiency. This workshop is aimed at people with a basic knowledge of vertical apparatus. Ability to invert in mid-air is required.” — Georgina Cassels

Tumult is a collective of four tightwire artists. The collective works on relearning and redefining diverse ways of collaborating on the tightwire. The challenge is to work with four people on a single wire simultaneously. The fragile and limited space becomes a moving ground unpredictable in its reactions: How to work together when each movement might take away the other’s balance? How to help each other? When does help become a burden to someone else? How to cooperate? What can we do, if we decide to trust? The emergency exit will be the fall.

The fragile space on the tightwire and a minimalistic scenography highlights the interactions of the artists. Paint will be used to uncover the traces of our relationships and experiences, leaving behind a memento of the past. A first try-out, a blank canvas to be explored.

About the artist:
TK Paauwe-Roberts, is an aerial teacher from Amsterdam. She gained 6 years of experience with teaching various fitness activities such as aerial silks, trapeze, cheerleading, and circuit training. In her own training, she is driven by the ability to move and do things beyond what you previously thought was possible. Because of its freedom of movement, mixed with strength, grace, and Flexibility, she was instantly drawn to aerial silks.

The beauty of this kind of training is that you don’t have to have any of these qualities before you start practicing. Instead, you can freely learn and develop these skills and find the moves that work for you. As a teacher, it’s her goal to help you train your body in a sustainable, smart, and fun way. Your muscles need enough time to rest and repair, and if you try to achieve too much in too short of a time span you’ll only be disappointed. She will make sure you learn new movements and skills with proper technique, which is essential to prevent injuries. The combination of aerials, calisthenics, and Pilates is perfect for this.

Marina Cherry squeaks, zooms, and tiptoes through a micro-space. Fragmenting pieces of a spunky personal universe puddle over the stage for her solo performance, Only Bones v1.6.

Intriguingly engulfing, sporadically disturbing, this quirky conglomeration creates a mishmash of corporal and cerebral manipulations- a follow-up project to the original concept Only Bones (v.1.0) by Thomas Monckton. Bursting the bubbles of banality, in a balance between theatrical and physical, Marina nudges the limits, researching innovation amongst extreme constraints, using only one light, it is a maximization of the minimal.

Only Bones Project is a minimalist physical theatre and sparse-video performance project. The concept based on the original play by Tom Mockton** continues its transformation by having selected artists create their own versions of the play within a given concept. Using uniformed and restrictive parameters, the selected artists create their own unique performances that follow a similar aesthetic. The guidelines are as follows: only one light, no narrative, no set design, no props, no text, in a limited space. In this way, artists are left only to their own possibilities to create their own world within the set concept.

In parallel to the live performance, these same solo performers are invited to create video projects, placing their exemplary physicality into sparse environments, highlighting our human connection/disconnection to the world.
Written and Performed by Marina Cherry.

Co-direction by Thomas Monckton
The play premiered in December 2020 at the NouNous festival in Helsinki, FI.
