Bending with the Earth: Floorwork to Breathwork
A grounded movement workshop exploring floorwork, breath, softness and embodied expression. Expect fluid pathways, earthy movement, gentle contortion-inspired shapes and guided breathwork to help connect the body, the ground and creative flow.
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
Connect movement, breath and the earth in this floor-based workshop exploring softness, transformation and embodied expression.
Designed for participants interested in movement, flexibility, grounding and creative bodywork, this session will guide you through floorwork pathways that encourage fluidity, release and connection with the ground. Ina will explore how breath can support movement, how the body can shift between shapes, and how floorwork can become a tool for expression as well as technique.
The workshop will include gentle contortion-inspired movement, breath-led transitions and creative exploration, with options offered so participants can work safely within their own range.
Level: Open level / Beginner–Intermediate
Props: No props required; participants may wish to bring a yoga mat or soft layer
Capacity: To be confirmed
Safety notes: Physical movement and flexibility work; participants should move within their own range and avoid pushing into pain
SHOW: Living Ecosystem
Living Ecosystem is a nature-responsive aerial show created for the forest, the open air and the strange magic that happens when circus leaves the theatre and meets the elements.
Performed by Clara, Ina Todorova and Elke Bucher, the show explores connection, time, decay and renewal through aerial silks, hoop, fly pole, pole, hair hanging, movement and sound. Suspended between ground and sky, the performers create a living landscape of bodies, fabric, metal, breath and motion.
Aerial silks ripple and twist like roots, mycelium and unseen forest networks. Hoop brings cycles, orbit and repetition. Pole, fly pole and hair hanging explore tension, release, transformation and the relationship between human bodies and the natural world.
Using movement, playfulness, softness and spectacle, Living Ecosystem invites the audience into a world where gravity, wind, earth and air all become part of the performance. It is a show about change, interdependence and the beauty of things that grow, fall apart and begin again.
THE FIRE SPACE
Safety, sobriety and fire
Flow in the Forest is safety-led and community-focused. There is no bar on site, and anyone taking part in fire activities must be sober, inducted and following the fire safety rules. Alcohol in moderation is allowed, but intoxication that creates risk, disrupts others or affects fire safety will not be accepted.

We've listened to your feedback and are happy to confirm that the Fire Space will be bigger, with more room to flow and with seating areas and a stronger social space for people to gather, watch, rest and connect.
Friday Metal Night is back
Our metal night returns to the Fire Space on Friday, and this year we’re making it even better. If you have metal tracks you love to flow to, or songs you’d love to hear in the Fire Space, please send your suggestions to: flowintheforest@gmail.com
Saturday Psytrance, Jungle and Drum & Bass
On Saturday, expect psychedelic sounds, jungle and drum and bass carrying the fire into the night, with space for both movement and community around the edges.
Sunday Psydub Flowdown
Sunday night will bring things into a softer, deeper landing with chilled, flowy psydub vibes in the Fire Space. Expect warm bass, spacious grooves and slower, more hypnotic sounds for people who want to move, stretch, spin, unwind or simply settle into the final night together. A gentler close to the weekend, with room to flow, breathe and soak it all in.
