Community kōrero

“MOVE has given our young people confidence and strength they never knew they had. The tutors create such a safe space for everyone to explore and grow."

“I can’t believe we just hung in the air at work! I thought so much more would be involved in the set up for a circus workshop and so I honestly dismissed how accessible this would be but now I see how it can be”

"I really enjoyed the opportunity to do this now that I’m older. The help and instruction at the 3 ‘levels’ worked well for confidence building. I felt very safe."

“The residency week has changed the way I think about my movement both on and off aerials. Going forward, I will be thinking a lot more about the journey to each pose rather than just getting there. It has also given me some tools to help me explore different movements myself”.
