Tuk week 2026

11 Mar Tuk week 2026

We recently spent a week training with Tuk Frederiksen, an experienced acrobat  and coach (from Cie XY) who specialises in working with group collectives. Tuk supported the core team in refining and developing their trio technique, while also leading three afternoon sessions with Mimbre’s wider group of associated acrobats. He created space for everyone to contribute and grow. While consistently raising the level of the work, he maintained a calm, welcoming and inclusive atmosphere throughout.  

The technical level has risen significantly in just one week, and the group work has stepped up noticeably as well. We’re now full of new ideas and practical tools that will help us continue developing and moving the work forward with more confidence.  

 Collaborating with highly experienced artists who understand how we work — and who challenge and elevate us further — is truly invaluable. We are committed to continuing this practice, while also providing a space and platform for women and non-binary artists to develop their technical and creative skills — opportunities that are quite rare.
