Handstands & Other Inversions

In this open-level workshop, we use handstands as a playful tool for warming up, building strength and developing body awareness. Through individual and partner exercises, we explore how to safely support, communicate and connect with each other while working upside down.

In the second half, we move into other partnered inversions: simple, fun and accessible combinations that can look impressive while remaining adaptable to different experience levels. Expect plenty of play, exploration and partner work, while staying safe and growing beyond your limits.

Facilitator: Brenda Akele Jorde is a documentary filmmaker, circus performer, and educator based in Berlin. With a background in social circus, aerial, and partner acrobatics, she has been teaching circus for several years in diverse community and educational settings.
