Asuka
I am Asuka, a berlin based acrobat and midwife! With a deep love for movement and an „embodied understanding“-approach to learning, I dove headfirst into the world of partner acrobatics a few years ago, and definitely haven’t looked back since! What started as a fascination quickly turned into a full-blown passion, with Icarians stealing my heart early on, followed by a deepening interest to standing acrobatics. Though relatively new to the scene, my journey is fueled by curiosity, intuition, and an ever-growing awareness and amazement of what our bodies are able do. I hope to bring a playful yet thoughtful energy to my teaching and complement technical explanations with a strong sense for how things feel in the body. Looking forward to meet you on the mats!

We will play with different Icarians in a vertical rotational axis (because who doesn't crave Pizza after several festival days). After warming-up and gaining some airtime, we will explore variuos flyer-shapes and learn to connect them, while pushing our limits of maximum possible rotaion.
We would like to teach you an advanced standing dynamic trick: from H2H to F2H.
Please bring the following prereqs: H2H and F2H tempo out of lines.
The Shushunova is a usefull tool giving the flyers more control and extra rotation with many icarians and Standing dynamics. So it's worth spending some time on clean technique and drills before we apply the trick to some real icarians.
Depending on your level, we can work with different moves and bring your throne-to-bird, full-handspring, or F2f-to-bird to the next level.
The "other" cascade, exercises to get our technique clean from a stable exit through the decisive movement in the air all the way to the catch.
We want to explore some unusual standing practices to expand your repertoire with camel throws (dynamic moves thrown through a high-Z) and forearm jumps (flyers jump of S-base forearms).
Our Goals will be Handstand on Shoulders, Rev. H2H, and F2H, but feel free to let your creativity go wild.
