Kiljan Kaffenberger
Teacher
With a background in athletics, mountain biking, and rock climbing, Kiljan has spent many years deeply immersed in partner acrobatics. His work spans teaching, performing, and research across different countries and contexts, always driven by curiosity and hands-on experience.
He is particularly interested in creating environments where people feel supported and safe enough to take risks, refine their skills, and discover new physical possibilities. What motivates him most is witnessing moments when people surprise themselves — achieving things they once believed were out of reach, only to realize that with the right surroundings, patience, and time, these limits can shift.
Being part of this process and watching people grow — not only sportively, but especially on a social and personal level — was the turning point that led him to leave his former profession and create a new one. He found something he believes in, something he considers special, and something that simply makes him happy.
Alongside his teaching and artistic work, he developed a specialized Icarian pillow — driven not only by the vision to improve specific aspects of the practice, but also by his love for crafting things by hand, where ideas and thoughts take physical form.
