A bit about Laura …

- They are a queer aerialist and performance maker based in Bristol

- Pronouns they/she

- She loves the physical and creative possibilities of aerial rope and enjoy it as part of my professional practice and how it plays a part in my mental health and wellbeing

- Laura strives to foster a learning environment that is inclusive and meets people where they are at, physically and mentally

- Open to feedback and always learning from students how she can adapt, improve or evolve with their needs

- Classes begin with a group check-in, this is really important for supporting yourself and supporting others in the class (aerial is a practice that wonderfully pushes your limits but it's important to do that from a place of awareness for yourself and others).
