Spazio Bizzarro IN THE AIR is a professional training project in aerial disciplines dedicated to professionals or students of intermediate/advanced level, organized by Spazio Bizzarro in collaboration with Il Dedalo .

This training is supported by the Ministry of Culture , within the FUS 2023 in the Circus, Promotion - Professional Training area, and is sponsored by ACCI.

The goal is to offer the possibility to artistsǝ and acrobatǝ to enrich their technical and artistic baggage.

At the end of the week, a certificate of participation will be issued, which is not to be considered qualifying for teaching, as the course does not aim to train technical figures recognized by sporting bodies.

Spazio Bizzarro IN THE AIR also wants to be a bridge with the Italian realities active in the panorama of the contemporary circus and promote the professional integration of new artists: for this reason time will be dedicated to making short videos that we will make available to companies affiliated to the project, among including Circo Madera , Blucinque , Circo Zoé , Circo El Grito , eVenti Verticali , Teatro Nelle Foglie .

How and When

The training will be aimed at 2 groups of a maximum of 8 people (for each session) and will be dedicated to technique and research in the field of aerial disciplines.
