Swing, balance, be amazed—welcome to the Acro-Line! The Acro-Line is a combination of a balance beam and an aerial apparatus—a playground for acrobatic spins, elegant moves, and swinging balance acts. With professional guidance, you can discover what’s possible on the Acro-Line. Whether it’s your first time swinging or you already have some experience, the first tricks are easy to learn—and they look truly spectacular! Everyone is welcome—kids, teenagers, and adults. Come alone, as a duo, or as a family.
You’re welcome to try things out, challenge yourselves, let go, and laugh together. Whether you’re curious or brave, reserved or full of energy: Everyone contributes in whatever way feels right at the moment.
The workshop lasts 75 minutes; you can drop in and out at any time.
What to bring: We recommend comfortable, long workout clothes.

Lara Schawalder
Lara Schawalder grew up in the Zurich Oberland. At the age of 20, she went to Paris for seven years, attended the ECM-ISAS musical school and trained at the Les Noctambules circus school, where she specialized in floor acrobatics and aerial silk. Since then, she has worked at home and abroad as an artist and is regularly teaching children, teenagers and adults.
Julian Bläsi
Julian has been a huge circus fan since childhood, when he attended summer camps at the Scuola Dimitri, and has taught himself many tricks in various disciplines. As a child, he practiced judo; later, he climbed with a SAC youth section; and then, via capoeira, he ended up doing breakdancing.
Julian Bläsi originally trained as a care specialist at the Sydefädeli retirement home and then worked for five years at the Klus Park senior center. As part of his alternative service, he worked at a daycare center, among other places. Through various projects at social institutions, he gained experience working with teenagers, which led him to youth work, where he has spent the last six years and, among other things, established a mobile circus program. Julian specializes in partner acrobatics and has participated in many international training camps and festivals. After completing his training as a community animator (HF), he has been working full-time as a circus educator. In recent years, he has led circus courses, including at the Robinson Children’s Circus.
