UPSIDE DOWN-ISMS
Things heard at The Upside Down

It’s Friday, which means it’s time for another one!

From funny instructor quotes and student comments to accidental innuendos, pole & aerial terminology, and conversations that make perfect sense in the studio but sound completely ridiculous anywhere else… 😂

Here’s this week’s Upside Down-ism.

Take a guess in the comments who said it! 👇

✨ READY TO TURN YOUR MOVEMENT INTO A STORY? ✨

Friday, November 6
7:00-8:30 PM
$40 + tax
With Abi LeDrew (she/her)

Through guided exercises, we’ll explore:
- Planning & structure
- Storytelling & expression
- Creative process
- Turning movement into performance
- Experimenting, playing & embracing the silly

This is your chance to get curious, try new things, and discover where your ideas can take you. No need to have it all figured out - come ready to experiment and let go of flawlessness!

Prerequisite: Prior aerial experience required.

What to bring:
• Notepad
• Comfortable clothing for aerial movement
• Layers
• A willingness to play, experiment & embrace imperfection!

Abi has been working in the circus world since 2014, splitting her time between Montreal and St. John’s as both a performer and teacher. Her classes are rooted in intentionality, listening to your body, and taking yourself very seriously… about taking yourself very UN-seriously.

Come discover, create, and bring your aerial ideas to life.

Registration is open - grab your spot and let’s make something!
