KT Takes Over the World

Kinetic Theory Founder/Artistic Director Stephanie Abrams has been busy teaching some international workshops this year in addition to her work with the amazing students here at KT. She recently was in Germany, Switzerland, France and Sweden sharing her knowledge and her signature approach to teaching flexibility and artistic development. Check out the photos from her trip.

Her recent workshops at North Pole Studio in Stockholm were so popular that she has been invited back to Stockholm this fall where she will also serve as one of the judges for “Pole Art International” the only pole competition and showcase dedicated to the artistic side of pole acrobatics! Visit www.poleart.org for more information on the event.

Stephanie will be teaching workshops in New York City this month. Stay tuned for more dates and cities on the “KT International Tour”!

Did You Know…

Did you know that we are the only circus studio in Los Angeles that offers a progressive, performance- based approach to circus training. Performance is our passion and teaching the art of performing is as important to us as teaching skills and safety. All of our skill classes incorporate movement sequencing, improvisation and creative expression. We also offer “Creative Movement”, a class that combines dance technique with expressive movement. We also have special workshops in artistic development for circus artists, pantomime and physical theatre.
