We look for practiced adagio acrobatics gymnasts (women and men) with a strong set of partner acrobalance movements. Adagio originated in Eastern Europe and is one of the commonly taught circus acrobalance arts. Adagio involves transitions between stationary balances with one flier and one base. The base remains in contact with the ground and the flier is balanced in the air. The base may move between lying, crouching, standing and kneeling. The flier may be balanced on the base's feet, hands, shoulders, knees, thighs, back or a combination of these - horizontally, vertically or upside down. A lighter flier and a stronger base is often easier, but equal weights or the reverse imbalance can work too. This form of acrobalance can be a crowd-pleasing circus act or a practised hobby. Tumbling gymnasts with experience on a dynamic track are also welcome.
Acrobalance combines two arts: adagio and hand balancing.
Adagio consists of partner lifts, usually performed by a man and a woman, where the male lifts his female partner in many poses and positions. Many forms of adagio also incorporate throws and tosses into somersaults, layouts and other acrobatic manoeuvres. Ballet, jazz, lyrical dance and ice skating also use lifts that belong to the adagio art. Whenever one person lifts another in artistic poses, or catches a tossed partner, it is considered adagio.
Hand balancing is performing acrobatic manoeuvres while supported wholly by the hands or arms. It is performed by circus artists, gymnasts and sports acrobats worldwide. Partner hand balancing is where a strong base supports the flyer in handstands, planches and other poses. Solo hand balancing is where one artist performs handstands, one-hand stands, planches and other equilibristic work, often on pommels, blocks or other apparatuses.
Acrobalance combines adagio lifts with strong-man hand balancing and partner acrobatics such as double planches and partner handstands. Formats include male/female duo, trio, female/female and other variations.
A performer on the ground who lifts and supports is often called the base; the performer being lifted or tossed is the flyer (or flier).
Acrobalance acts need a high degree of care, coordination, proprioceptive awareness and mutual trust to avoid injury. Due to their physical intensity, performances are usually no longer than eight to ten minutes.
Acrobalance acts are often set to music and performed as part of circuses and other shows.
We develop catalog coverage for adagio circus, circus contortion and circus acrobatics - both as sport and as a strong part of gymnastics show programmes. Our goal is to help production teams run stronger adagio, contortion and acrobatics programmes for cruise and live venues.
We continue to add materials for clients seeking adagio circus talent. Our mission is to provide the best path to adagio circus employment and give worldwide clients access to adagio acrobalance gymnasts.
