This months news:
- Conflux workshops
- August Courses
- Edinburgh Aerial & Acro Convention
- Aerial Edge at the Briggait
During July Aerial Edge as part of Surge, a festival of physical theatre created by Conflux, was teaching free trapeze and acrobalance workshops to youth groups at the Briggait along with Theatre Modo who were teaching stilt walking and juggling skills. Everyone seemed to enjoy the workshops even the ones a little afraid of heights!
Aerial Edge's August courses are now available for booking, the classes now start on August 15th. Last months classes have been full so booking in advance will ensure you get a place

Edinburgh Aerial & Acro Convention
The 4th EAAC is going ahead on September 10th to 12th 2010. Booking is now open on http://www.eaac.info
The Edinburgh Aerial & Acro Convention is a non profit event created to introduce new people to circus arts and introduce circus artists to new disciplines. It is one of the largest conventions teaching aerial arts ands acrobalance in the world. Last year saw 160 people coming to train for the weekend with some of the worlds best teachers. The EAAC gets larger each year as interest grows and we teach more arts from beginner to expert level.
This year we have not managed to get the same funding as we have received in the last two years; we have previously been supported by Awards for All but have been unsuccessful in our application this year. We will still be running the event to the same standard and size as before (but we need to find some support in getting the right equipment). We would also welcome some help from you! We will need volunteers, riggers, helpers, and enthusiastic people to spread the word. We are now totally reliant on attendees so the more people who book, the more teachers and new arts will be there for the weekend. We have an early bird discount ticket price of £100 if you book before August 15th. After this date we have to increase the price as we will need to quickly get extra teachers to help out. Booking early definitely helps us out.
We will give regular updates on teachers, new arts and workshops on the run up to this years event and we will release the timetable where you can reserve your place for individual workshops in advance.
Book now!
Aerial Edge Opens at The Briggait
Aerial Edge is opening a new school this September at the Briggait in the centre of Glasgow. On the 22nd of September we have an opening event with showings and free taster sessions for everyone to try out some of our new aerial classes. This will be the launch of our youth and adult education programs.
Aerial Edge will be teaming up with Conflux to use the shed space at the Briggait to create a circus training centre for everyone from professionals to beginners of all ages.
We will release a class schedule next month
