It shouldn’t hurt! And it doesn’t have to. You can expect attention to sensory sensitivities, neurodivergent accessibility, and lots of communication and detail in Ess’s classes.

As a coach, Ess loves to help students and artists of all levels access mobility in sustainable ways, wherever they’re at in their flexibility journey.

Their work blends the acrobatic body with text, video, and dance to examine the relationship between risk and spectacle, trans identity and gender performance, and the fine line between what we consider beautiful and what we find grotesque. Starting as a stunt performer and stunt double, my flexibility and movement skills have brought creatures and monsters to life in shows and films like IT, The Handmaid’s Tale, Umbrella Academy, What We Do In The Shadows, and more and my duo contortion act with Troy James has won international accolades, including the Prix Moulin Rouge at the Festival du Cirque de Demain, the Special Prize of the State Circus of Belarus, and a Golden Buzzer on La France a un Incroyable Talent.
