What this workshop covers

  • Why progression/regression is a common practice, but not the best for inclusivity

  • The framework of ecological dynamics and how it can apply to inclusivity

  • How to master this approach and empower your students while saving class planning time

  • Why this approach will help your strongest students AND your weaker students without making anyone feel left out

What this workshop does NOT cover

  • Specific conditioning plans or exercises. This workshop covers how to take exercises and re-frame them for greater inclusivity, as well as shift the culture away from guided exercise and towards student self-direction.

  • General education on strength and conditioning. Since this is a more advanced pedagogy course, I assume you come in with some basic knowledge about strength and flexibility programming!

"Thoughtful and challenging"

Kel, @melbinmotion

Adam has so much thoughtful and challenging content, delivered with genuine care for all the coaches he's teaching and their communities. All movement coaches should be doing these courses.

"World-class"

Jaine Mirka, @strayful

Adam presents beautiful, thoughtful learning materials that challenge our preconceived ideas around teaching a movement based practice and empower us to do better. I can't overstate the positive impact this work has on the circus sector as it supports teachers in their work and creates consent-focused, inclusive spaces where more students can engage in a circus practice. We include Adam's modules as a mandatory part of our circus teacher training course as we feel his resources are world class.

"Eye-opening"

Dr. Jess Allen, @awyrol

Adam's courses are amazing and eye-opening for any movement teacher who is serious about their practice and about providing a truly inclusive experience for their students. He is one of the only practitioners I'm aware of who’s bringing concepts from some of the most important and current research (in physical literacy, non-linear pedagogy and other educational contexts) and making it relevant and essential to circus teaching today. Whether you teach in a recreational, pre-vocational, vocational, professional or therapeutic context, these concepts not only apply universally (yes, really) but could fundamentally change the way you think about education and the concepts/practices we traditionally ‘inherit’ which can potentially be harmful if we don’t question them. You should be prepared to be challenged and fundamentally changed by this important work.

Pay what you can

Maybe you live outside the US, maybe it's your first course with me, maybe you just need a little treat...no matter what the reason, with me you always pay-what-you-can.
