Acrobatics Lab Masterclass in Munich
For all levels
The Acrobatics Lab is a hands-on workshop focused on developing acrobatic skills and exploring free-flow movement that goes beyond form and technique. Through playful partner exercises, specific conditioning drills and guided practice, participants of all levels can challenge themselves, experiment safely, and turn ordinary movement into creative exploration. Expect five hours of joyful moving, skill-building and playful acrobatics.
What experience do I need to join this workshop?
-> No prior acrobatic experience is needed – just an active movement practice of any kind. Be ready to move for several hours and stay open to new experiences. As a seasoned mover, you’ll still discover new challenges, as the level is always adapted individually.
Will the workshop mainly focus on techniques or fixed drills and choreography?
-> The workshop uses a wide range of methods – from learning specific skills and related strength or mobility work, to partner exercises for dynamic application and spotting, to creating combinations and exploring freely with the material. The learning process of each participant is the main focus, with a safe space provided for everyone to practice at their own pace.
Will there be materials to study after the workshop?
-> Yes. Participants will receive a summary with selected videos, texts, playlists, and other resources from the day. Not all workshop content will be recorded – only chosen parts are shared for personal use and respectful study. (Das wäre geil auch zu erwähnen wie bei den programmen wo oben kleine icons sind mit: instant delivery after purchase blabla)
I’ve participated in a workshop in the past, will I learn something new here?
-> Past participants don’t need to worry about material repetition – the workshop is regularly revisited and updated.

Playful yet focused atmosphere
Dynamic Conditioning
Safely and creatively practicing acrobatics requires caring for the body, keeping it strong and supple. During the workshop, Nil will share conditioning methods and favorite patterns to build resilience, elasticity and control.
Rolling, Falling, Bouncing
Falling is part of the game, so better learn to do it gracefully and skillfully! Alongside basic and advanced rolling, you’ll test these skills through playful partner games and expressive tasks – absorbing impact like a cat, bouncing like a rubber ball, and redirecting falls like flowing water.
Creativity Toolkit
Every researcher needs tools – and so do we as acrobatic scientists! We’ll explore Re-Directions, learning to harness momentum and steer it like a ship on open water; Hybrid Forms, where arches meet rolls, jumps meet falls, and inversions blend with twists; and Freezes and Time Warps, discovering how to slow time, pause mid-move, and find moments of suspension.
Zero Gravity Practice
Imagine moving in a place without gravity – all the possibilities! While we won’t leave the planet (sadly), we’ll use partners to recreate this sensation. Through games and creative tasks, we’ll explore support, connection, and new ideas for solo practice.

I’ve attended two of Nil’s workshops over the years, and both were amazing in their own way. I’d highly recommend them to any mover, whether you’re an experienced dancer or just starting to explore new, playful ways of moving.
I’ve attended several of Nil’s workshops, and I absolutely loved them! The structure is perfectly balanced: there’s a focus on learning skills and techniques (Nil is an excellent teacher!) while also plenty of room for exploration and improvisation, inspired by Nil’s own practice.
Nil brings a sense of joy, play and personal experimentation into his workshops. It is cool to see how he works with the group weaving in unique ideas that meet everyone in the moment.
Training with Nil is pure joy and a great experience. I had the opportunity to participate in several of Nil's workshops and intensives, each of which was a turning point in my movement practice.
Last year we had the privilege of hosting Nil for his workshop at Movement Amsterdam. Nil is such an easy-going and relaxed guy. Genuinely one of the nicest people we’ve had the pleasure to work with.
It’s always such a pleasure to be a part of Nils’s workshops. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming, with practitioners of all levels eager to help and support one another.
For my 40ties Birthday my family made me the best present I could imagine. They signed me up for Nils "five days intensive“ Workshop in Munich. After this I signed myself up for more … and more to come!
