Case study
Design meets circus: How creative problem-solving and experience-driven design elevated an aerial acrobatics performance
Experience-driven design / Problem-solving / Design process / Experience evaluation
In May 2022, I signed up to perform at Aerial Arts Showcase, an event for aerial acrobatics and pole dance enthusiasts held in Helsinki in November of the same year. I had never before performed as a soloist or created a choreography by myself. I decided to approach the process like any problem I face in my work as a designer, and to use creative design methods and principles of Experience-driven design to create an aerial acrobatics performance that would offer an experience to both myself and the audience.
