OverGravity Gymnastics

Why this course exists

Casting breakdowns regularly ask for movement, gymnastics and action skills, and Spotlight lets casting directors filter by them. But there’s a bigger truth: there’s a difference between being in the action and carrying it. The actors who lead action franchises, Pugh, Wright, Holland, trained for it. And if you’ve ever watched a fight sequence and thought I want to be able to do that, this is where you learn. No acrobatic experience needed. Dancers and athletes, you’re already halfway there.

This twelve-week programme with Over Gravity Gymnastics builds that physical vocabulary properly, safely, and to a standard you can honestly claim.

Course Content

Acrobatic Foundations

The non-negotiables of screen-ready movement. Cartwheels, round-offs, front handsprings and backflips, trained with the control and repeatability a set demands. When a director asks in your final audition “can you do any flips or tricks,” the answer will be yes!
 

Action Skills
The moves you see in every fight sequence and action reel. Kip-ups, butterfly kicks, aerials, flying kicks and dynamic combinations. These are the skills stunt coordinators look for when deciding whether an actor can carry their own action or needs a double for everything. Every skill you own yourself is a scene that doesn’t get handed to someone else.

Parkour and Freerunning

Vaults, platform jumps, safe landings, rolls and freerunning fundamentals, then combinations that link parkour into flips. This is the language of chase sequences and physical storytelling, and it teaches you how to fall, land and move at speed without injuring yourself. Self-sufficiency on set is a hireable quality.
 

Wall Tricks

Palm spins, wall flips and wall-based movement, built through safe progressions. Distinctive, visual, and exactly the kind of skill that makes a self-tape or showreel moment stick in a casting director’s memory.
 

Your Progression, Your Pace

Every actor trains to their own level, whether you’re mastering backflips or adding acrobatics to an already professional skill set. Some will work towards performing advanced skills independently, including wall flips, aerials and butterfly twists. Others will build foundations they didn’t have twelve weeks earlier. Either way, you leave with more range than you arrived with, and range is currency in this industry.
 

What You’ll Walk Away WIth

Body awareness, coordination, control and the confidence to say yes when a breakdown asks for physical skills. You’ll know how to overcome obstacles, perform action movement safely with or without assistance, and connect individual skills into combinations you can actually use in the room.
 
Optional Add-On: Showreel Filming Session
 
At the end of term, actors will have the option to book an additional filming session to capture the skills and combinations they’ve built, footage ready for your showreel and Spotlight profile. Details and booking for this will be provided separately.
