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

The dramaturgy workshop will bring together between 10 and 15 contemporary circus artists from Croatia, the region and other European countries. Those artists who already have experience in creating circus productions and are eager for additional knowledge, which is not technical but creative, will be selected for this workshop.

The basis of the circus artists’ education is the flexibility of their vocabulary, which is poor in the number of figures compared to theatre and dance. Therefore, contemporary circus artists can be creative only if they know how to transform and make their vocabulary as flexible and diverse as possible through specific training. The characteristic of the circus artists is that they speak through metaphors and try to discover still unexplored parts of the human soul to provoke a new emotion which they convey to us with their technique. With the help of their physical fitness and skills, through manipulation, gesture, choreography or movement, in short, with the help of their whole bodies, the circus artists creates images that the audience is invited to experience, feel, decipher …

The workshop is free of charge for selected participants. Lunch is organized for participants, and travel and accommodation costs will be reimbursed to participants in full amount or partially (depending on the final budget of the activity).

The working language of the workshop is English.
Workshop participants are selected according to their CV and motivation letter via the form:

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.
