RITTI SONCCO

aerialist, artist, traveling teacher

Oh hey there

I'm a Peruvian-German aerialist, performance artist, and qualified circus pedagogue (JoJo Zentrum für Zirkuspädagogik, 2013) with 10+ years of experience as an aerial teacher. I am the founder and co-director of "Inverted: Circus & Pole Fitness Ltd", an award-winning circus and pole studio based in Aberdeen, Scotland. I also hold a PhD in Medical Anthropology (University of Edinburgh). Find out more here

​

I travel throughout Europe giving aerial silks workshops and collaborate on artistic, performance, and photographic projects. I'm fluent in English, Spanish, German, and am learning Italian. I divide my time between Germany, Scotland and Sicily.

Traveling Workshops

I've taught aerial silks workshops and masterclasses at circus studios, festivals, and circus conventions around United Kingdom, Europe and Hong Kong. My workshops consist of my signature silks portfolio: split silks choreographies, movement research, intricate web architecture, and aerial flow. I'm currently accepting bookings for Summer/Winter 2023.

Rachel (Aberdeen)

"Ritti creates beautiful labyrinthine aerial sequences which she navigates students through expertly using a balanced combination of demostration, instruction and motivation. The flow of it just made it feel so good and kept me energised."

Caitlin (Cambridge)

"One of the most unique and wonderful workshops I've ever had the pleasure of attending. Ritti's encouragement to play with shapes and movement and create your own style with no judgement is inspiring and she creates such a safe space for creativity. Couldn't recommend more!"

Marjorie (Edinburgh)

"Right when I was falling out of love with aerial, Ritti came in and flipped the whole script for me. She taught me how to condition effectively, crafted sequences that felt good in my body and was both my biggest cheerleader and advocate, especially when I was my biggest critic. She continues to be patient, firm, motivating, giggle inducing and inspirational. She makes me want to grow to be the best I can be on the ground and in the air. And she will kick your butt in the best way."

Photoshoots

I'm interested in projects that explore unabashed, unapologetic self-love, the dark feminine, and creative modeling. I'm always happy to bring my pole shoes, make-up, and silks to a shoot. 

Here's a selection of projects I've worked on.
