FESTIVAL
Everything you need to know about what's going on at the Aerial Arts Festival Berlin this year!
We have a full four days of exciting things on offer for you...
Talks
Thought-provoking talks with experts from the
circus world.
Un-ticketed and free of charge. Small tent.
Saturday 29 March 16.00 - 17.30
Talk - World Cafe format: Zirkus und Elternschaft (DE)
Wie haben Artisten*innen es geschafft, eine Zirkuskarriere mit der Elternschaft zu verbinden, und was können Einzelpersonen und die Szene der darstellenden Künste insgesamt tun, um dies zu ermöglichen?
Wenn du an diesem Vortrag teilnehmen möchten und dafür eine Kinderbetreuung benötigen, meldest du dich bitte bis zum 13. März unter Angabe der Anzahl der Kinder und des Alters bei uns an, damit wir einen kostenlosen Platz bei unserer Kinderbetreuerin vor Ort anbieten können.
Email: aerialartsfestival@vuesch.org, Subject line: Kinderbetreuung
Sunday 30 March 15.00 - 16.30
Talk - Fishbowl format: Building strong communities through circus (EN)
The social, political and financial climate in Germany and worldwide seems less supportive to artists than ever. How can we build circus communities for both new and old faces? How do we stay strong and empower each other in the face of a polarised society?
More info on talks downloadable here.

ABOUT YOUR MASSAGE THERAPIST
Jaina Hirai offers customised and goal-oriented deep tissue massage treatments which include targeted myofascial release, trigger point techniques, osteopathic Thai therapy and reflexology. She specialises in upper body release for painful shoulders, stiff or immobile neck, headaches, jaw tension, and overworked hands and forearms. She has been working with athletes professionally for 18 years.
This is her third year offering massage at the Aerial Arts festival. Jaina is fascinated by the effects circus training has upon muscles, fascial chains and joints, and uses her anatomical knowledge to offer individualized treatments.
Jaina founded her own massage company, Hirai Healing, in 2007, and co-founded Haven wellness center for massage and Pilates in Rummelsberg, Berlin in 2020.
