Educational Philosophy

  • Stumble considers teaching and the running of workshops to be vital to the energy and experience of the company.  We are dedicated to enthusing young people into Circus Arts and helping professionals experience different areas of technique or experimentation towards performance.  Mish Weaver is an enthusiastic coach of aerial disciplines and welcomes opportunities to teach professional circus performers to a high level of expertise.

    As a company we prioritise workshops for various groups within the community and during devising periods, each cast member choses an area of expertise to help provide an array of different workshop.  The aim being to bring new skills to new people and fresh approaches for performers and artists.  Our workshops and classes are safe, professional and aim to be inclusive wherever appropriate.  Some levels of inclusion require further preparation, to which Stumble is keen to lend itself. 

    Stumble is very open to tailoring workshops to specific needs or ambitions, from choreographic exploration to technical detail with equipment.
