Gravity and Levity are running their annual aerial symposium in Brighton.

The event is aimed at aerial/movement arts professionals and enthusiasts and showcases practice, pedagogical and personal approach presentations from aerial artists, researchers, body workers, medical and sports science practitioners from around the globe.

The National Centre would like to take part as a Virtual Studio Hub.

We want to set up a hub in the Creation Studio and offer Open Training members who specialise in aerial at the National Centre the opportunity to attend.

The diversity of speakers and presentation topics this year is very exciting:

• The Kinstretch® method
• Body of Worth – ‘self-esteem and body image in the aerial industry’
• Bendy bodies, bendy brains
• Spin-poseium – The Art of Spinning
• Relaxed Spaces and Access Notes within the Circus Industry
• Aerial performance innovation in the late 19th century
• The highs and lows of navigating a career in the aerial arts
• MSK injury profile in Circus artists – review of current knowledge and applications to training
