Handstands and Acrobatics for All Levels

James Kingsofrd-Smith

James is an acrobat, former cirque du soleil artist, a personal trainer, a masseur and an arts manager. The performance is the embodiment of the skills that he teaches. James has toured the world as a professional circus performer, performing shows from Montreal to Macau. He has stunned audiences at international circus competitions, professional art markets, Olympic ceremonies, and starred in Cirque du Soleil. James began his training in gymnastics at age 5 and has been performing on stage for 15 years. He is a trained actor, stuntman, high diver, comedian, circus instructor, acrobat and world-class aerialist. He is a graduate of the National Institute of Circus Arts, was one of the original ensemble members of Circa (Australia's premier circus company), starred in and directed a major Cirque du Soleil production, and performed at the 2014 Sochi Paralympic Games with Danielle Finzi Pasca. James is also the founder of two self-produced collectives called The BOB Collective and A Movement of Humans. Over the years, these two groups have produced 5 professional productions and toured in 7 different countries. James' work is about illustrating the vulnerable aspects of the human experience and then pushing them to their emotional and physical limits. ​He uses his connections in the entertainment industry to mentor new artists and organise events. He uses his experience with physicality and anatomy to heal through deep tissue massage. If any of these skills, solve needs that you have, please reach out and he will endeavour to contact you. He can hold any stage. He can teach you. He can heal you. He can get you a job.

This 90 min acrobatics classes is all about building movement confidence while learning tumbling and handstands.
