The various acrobatic disciplines from Corpus are performed by a well trained and highly qualified international team of acrobats. These disci-plines range from aerial and ground/ partner acro-batics to contortionism (snake people), all of which serve as functional ele-ments within the develop-ment of the performance, choreography and music. Corpus Acrobatic Theatre has made an important contribution to the develop-ment of modern circus, in which the poetical and visual expression of the acrobatics has come to play a key role.

Since 2000 the company has been also working with video art/projections and incorporated this medium into multi-media circus shows. The influence of the visual arts is always very present in the Corpus choreographies with a lot of attention to lighting, music, sets, special effects and costume design.
