Built for the self managing and DIY artist/athlete, this workshop will take you on a courageous, wide angle reconstruction of your practice.

Join me for a jam packed 2 hours of assessments, check ins and myth wrangling as I take you through my process for rebuilding a practice that allows you to thrive! This is not a sitdown slideshow, this is the big picture work that creates sustainable relationships with the cool shit we love to do.

This is the exact framework I take my students through, brought to you in an easy to apply format!

Step One - Taking it all in: Let’s get clear on what life looks like right now. The good, the bad, and the frustrating. Both in and out of your training practice

Step Two - Back to the Future: Where do you want to be? What are you hoping to change? Improve? Leave behind? Let’s look at some goals, focuses and changes!

Step three - Assessing and Myth Wrangling: How do step one and two work together? Do they at all? What needs to change to allow you to reach the future you want while thriving?

Step Four - Reconstruction: It’s FINALLY time to rebuild your training practice from the big picture, in. It’s in this step that you will find clarity in how to use your time and energy to get the big things you want, while still allowing the gorgeous human you are to thrive.

Constantly striving for optimal performance, yet always falling short of functional, healthy, and happy?

Often feel like you are not doing enough? Or could be (should be) doing more?

Find you are constantly riding the rollercoaster of burnout or flying into the crash mat of over training?

Collecting drills, skills and tricks, endlessly adding to your to-do list and never quite making it to where you want to go? Or feeling settled in where you are?

Grew up with some pretty unhealthy myths regarding “hard work” and “sacrifice” and are ready to kick all that shit to the curb and explore new possibilities?

Then look no further! This workshop for you!

Now more than ever, I find artists and athletes are trapped in the clutter of “shoulds”, bottomless drills and opinions about how to build, maintain, and thrive in an artistic athletic practice. Left on our own to put it all together, we often end up choosing everything while simultaneously feeling like we are getting nothing done. I believe this extreme level of focus on minutiae, without considering the real, big picture reality of how we need to or want to live, is a huge contributing factor to burnout, overtraining, and the end of artistic and athletic careers.

I want you to train forever, but more importantly I want you to be happy doing it.

Come learn to truly assess and accept where you are at

Find the possibility in the frustrating, sticky, and scary parts of being a human who does extraordinary things

Build a practice that feels good AND gets you the cool shit you want

Create a filter for all shoulds, industry myths, and hacks we are constantly presented with so you can choose what to keep, and more importantly, what to ignore.

Snap on those pro grade fishnets, let’s get shit done and have fun doing it!

Meet your instructor:  Sidonie Adamson📷

Sido Adamson is a circus artist and coach to aerialists, stunt performers, and creative athletes. She is a biomechanics nerd, an advocate for longevity and health in performing careers, and that weird person who can’t help but notice that you rotate to the right when hanging.

Her lifetime in the circus arts has seen her perform across three continents with notable organizations such as Les Sept Doigts de La Main, St. John’s Circus Fest, and Anystage Productions. She has lit up stages as a circus artist, hung from trees as a vertical dancer, performed in international festivals, curated and produced cross-continental shows, and dazzled as an aerialist for outrageously expensive weddings.

Plagued with injuries and labelled as weak early in her career, Sidonie was always certain that there was a better way- a safer way to push the boundaries of human possibility without sacrificing long term health. Driven to find answers, Sidonie dove deep into the world of biomechanics, longevity, and fascial health and became an expert in creative problem solving for bad ideas and big plans.

She believes the key to achieving superhuman feats is to be super at being human first. She has guided  aerialists and acrobats through the deserts of injury, the uncertain perils of pregnancy, and the roller coasters of creative athletic careers. Past students have gone on to prestigious circus schools, worked internationally as performers and achieved full time stunt careers.

Sido currently works one on one with performing artists and creative athletes, including aerialists and stunt acrobats creating highly individual, nuanced programs that help them through their careers safely and with efficiency. Her students become resilient, resourceful performers who are no longer derailed by change and instead continue to thrive and surpass their perceived limitations regardless of circumstance.
