OVERVIEW:
Join us for a free two-day workshop exploring the role of ritual in our daily lives and sharing our practice of handbalancing. It’s possible to join for one or both days.

We are Lily and Melody, two circus makers and sisters who started performing circus together as kids. Now, we are creating a circus show for theaters called The Kettle is Always On, which is inspired by our relationships to ritual and each other.

As part of the creation of the show, we want to exchange with our community about the role of ritual in our lives. We’d love for you to come along and share your perspective, and learn some handstands along the way!

WHEN / WANNEER: 26 & 27 November, 18:00-20:00

WHERE / WAAR: Art is Home Studios, Hillevliet 90, room 0.08, 3074 KD Rotterdam

WHAT TO EXPECT:
The first day will focus on an introduction to handbalancing, and we will work physically on the floor. Learn the foundation of a handstand and how to build your own handstand practice through physical exercises and theory.

On the second day, we will give our approach to ritual in our everyday lives and offer some exercises to help you examine the role of ritual in your own life. What are you interested in transforming, large or small?

Together, we will develop personalized rituals for ourselves and each other. At the end, we will collect these rituals in a short book to serve as a communal resource.
