Dordogne Aerial Dance Atelier
DADA
9th – 14th June 2023
We are extremely excited to be hosting Dordogne Aerial Dance Atelier again this summer.
DADA is a holistic event for the global community and ideal for aerial and dance practitioners keen to improve technique. Take time for research and creation and truly focus on your personal and professional development. DADA offers a mix of technique & creative workshops and masterclasses in aerial skills, dance, acrobatics, yoga, handstand, creation to production, and rigging in a rich environment where you are immersed in aerial and ground-based movement.
Over the course of six days and five nights we stretched, climbed, worked, explored and discovered muscles that we didn’t think we had. Our fuel, eating delicious Ayurvedic food whilst exchanging stories with like-minded people, overlooking the Dordogne countryside.
As artists, we never stop, our bodies change over the years, we define our craft, we explore and we discover…….Abigail Yeates

A head-to-toe warm up, that will generate heat in the body through breath, and open the body through a series of repetitive short movement sequences which we’ll build on as the week progresses. We will work also in contact improvisation tasks working in pairs and in groups, gently giving and taking weight and finding techniques for flying, partnering and floor work, leaving you energised and prepared for whatever the day ahead may bring.
