🛠️ MUCH WORKSHOPS

Eliška Brtnická:
BODY–TRAPEZE COMMUNICATION

What if the trapeze isn’t just an apparatus, but a partner?

In this workshop, Eliška Brtnická invites you to explore a dialogue between body and object — where technique becomes communication. Through precise ex*****on, attention to biomechanics, and an understanding of force and contact points, participants learn to listen to the trapeze and respond.

✨ Focus on:
• Clear, efficient technique
• Transitions that shape movement flow
• Developing a physical dialogue with the apparatus
• Turning structure into creative possibility

This is a space where precision opens the door to creativity — where new movement ideas emerge from interaction.

📅 Saturday, April 18
🕒 12:30 – 14:30

📍 Last spots available — join us!
