Aerial O
Glasgow for the past three days, with Ashgraig and Smithycroft schools, Dirty Feet Dance group and members of Scottish Opera. We all danced, flew, talked and planned for the BIG production in November. All in all a brilliant time with a great team.

Aerial dance with Castle Wood School
The end of a very happy week working at AT7 centre in Coventry with children from Castle Wood School. The Sports Centre was buzzing with activity all week but the staff found time to help with the scissor lift and in reaching up to page the ropes in and out each day ready for the evening volleyball and badminton sessions. They also allowed us into their staff room for much needed mugs of tea!
Class 10 came to 3 sessions and their learning was totally visible. As the week progressed they moved from nervous trepidation to confident and dynamic physicality. Supported by their amazing class teacher Melanie and a fantastic team of staff the children, all of whom have 'profound autism' and little verbal communication, showed their enjoyment in many ways, with smiles, eye contact, nods, gestures and the obvious recognition and excitement of the activity each new day.
Classes 4, 7, and 8 had one session each and quickly got the hang of what was going on. They gave clear 'cues' when they wanted to be swung high above the ground and played with the new dimension of aerial work with curiosity and imagination.
It all happened because of Richard Hayhow and the Shysters' way of working in the school. The only question is, what next?
