Apply now for our one-day Flex Lab Mini – A professional development retreat at Flying Fantastic.
We have a few spots left at our day retreat for Black women working in circus and outdoor arts. The retreat is focused on rest, connection and community rather than output and is open to female-identifying performers and non-binary people who identify with experiences of misogyny, from Black African, Caribbean, Afro-Latinx and African-American backgrounds (including those of mixed-Black heritage).
Flex Lab grew out of an informal support network originally formed during the Covid-19 pandemic, with support from Upswing. You can read more about previous Labs here.
