Ritti is a Peruvian-German aerialist, performance artist, and qualified circus pedagogue with 15+ years of experience as an aerial teacher. She is also the founder & director of "Inverted: Circus and Pole Fitness", an award-winning studio in Scotland. Ritti has taught masterclasses of her signature choreographies at multiple circus studios across Europe, and has created two political circus films: "A Red Indian Climbs the Trump Wall" and "Harvest".
CONSTRUCTION 10.00 - 12.00
Ritti Soncco's signature choreographies are based in split silks. Inspired by spiderwebs and pole dance, her choreographies create unusual shapes with the body, rely on slowness and speed, and can all be woven into one long infinite sequence.
This is technique-heavy workshop. Expect gripping with your knees, hiplocks on single silks, head flicks, and endless sequencing.
Pre-reqs: hiplocks, able to invert in the air multiple times
Important: bring shorts. People with male genitalia: bring dancebelts.
DECONSTRUCTION 13.00 - 15.00
Beyond technique, are stories. How can we deconstruct the rigidity we learned in order to master technique - and tell a story instead? In this workshop, we'll begin by researching movement quality and then explore the different things a silk can be, to help us tell our stories.
In this workshop, Ritti will share her techniques for creating her political act "A Red Indian Climbs the Trump Wall" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDFWhTd_kBE). No sequences will be taught in this workshop, but you'll be in the air a lot. Expect to try out many things - some will work, some won't, everything is okay. Expect to play, express, and hide.
Important: bring shorts. Bring ideas for a character (make-up, costume) or props. Bring no ideas and be open to experiment.
Pricing and tickets will be published soon!
