@fitsibiu taking us to new hights!

If you are ever in Romania during June/July you should definatley go to Sibiu (Hermannstadt)! 10 days of theatre, circus, dance and culture taking over the entire city. And all the inhabitants join in the fun: A city in state of cultural explosion.

We are so grateful we could be part of this. Finally we felt like we have arrived, that all our hard work and energy, which we put into this project for 3 years has found appreciation, honour and wonderful company.

Thanks @mimosa.percy for organising us and @diana.racz for catching the perfect moments.

Who is this?

Meet the newest ConTakt member Josh:

Berlin based, multitalented floor and partneracrobat Joshua Frazer. We have lost track of how many circus projects and collectives he has been a part of since he graduated from the National Centre for Circus Arts in London. That makes us even prouder and very happy that he made space in his tight schedule to join us.

Combining beautiful floor work, crazy tumbling, a beautiful voice and a lot of laughter to the team.

Today we want to introduce you to Klovis.

Lover of everything that makes music, Klovis turned to live performance where he puts his talent and energy to serve many creations: circus, concerts, shows for children or activist theater. Sometimes behind the drums, other times behind his loopstation to create musical atmospheres with his voice, beatbox, flute, and effects.

Meet the team #4

Today we want to introduce you to Kerstin.

Already as a child Kerstin was fond of circus arts, but never would have imagined herself performing on stage one day. It happened by chance that in 2009 she took her first circus class, got hooked and has been teaching and performing ever since. She’s a very active member in the circus arts community; co-founded Akrosphäre in 2015, is involved in running Katapult training space Berlin and produces own shows with Cameo Acrobatix.

Meet the team #3

Let us introduce you to Lily.

Lily discovered her love for circus on her travels, training in different circus spaces and schools to further deepen her skillset in theater, movement and acrobatics. While training at DOCH School of Dance and Circus Stockholm she met Pao Portabella, who joined ConTakt as an Outside Eye a year later for the creation process. When she isn’t working in circus projects, she is campaigning for environmental justice or is out in the forest hunting for mushrooms.

☀️Flashback to summery 35°C during our performances in May 2022 in Portugal part of the @imaginarius_istfest
For us it was the craziest time of 2022 as we were polishing up our new show with long meetings discussing creation and experimenting new transitions in each performance. Also our friend Cloe from @josh_and_cloe jumped in last minute as replacement due to one of us being sick.
This experience brought us closer together as a group and helped us realize and trust in the possibilities when we give all and work together. ☀️
