Schedules, Events & Workshops!

This 16-hour teacher training is for coaches who want to consider access in their teaching practices and understand how to break down some of the inherent ableism (and some of its intersections) in circus arts. Participants will expand their knowledge to strive to offer more inclusive ways of teaching through lectures, discussions, resources, and practical circus applications. This training culminates in a workshop for the Disability community, led by Erin and Maxime, with assistance from the coaches who take the course. This course is open to teachers of any movement based practices. If you are not a circus coach, these principles still apply and we will spend time exploring your specific discipline.

Access notes: The course will be in English in person. Slides and videos will be described and we will have auto generated captions enabled on a screen. We are striving to create a relaxed environment. Stimming, movement, and making noise is welcome. Everything is optional. Please participate in a way that works for you. We will have formal breaks and you can take a break whenever you need/want. More detailed access notes to follow.

This 2 hour workshop begins with a background in 2SLGBTQIA+ concepts, gender identities and expressions, forms of oppressions, history, and brainstorming about how queermisia/transmisia and intersecting forms of oppression are present in current systems and in movement based practices.
‍

We then move into ways of including transgender identities with concrete actions to actively support the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. There will be optional practical offerings and discussions to explore gender expression in a safer space through movement, and reflections. These explorations will be at times acting in alignment, at times challenging the status quo, while putting into practice learnings from the course.

Open to anyone who is interested in learning more and exploring.
