Abseiling and Aerial Performers’ Previous Clients:

Arboreal

Arboreal is a multi-cast feel-good aerial show featuring a dysfunctional family with a passion for verticality! Challenging preconceptions of space and linear narrative, this piece explores the way we think about our environment by taking an everyday domestic setting and placing it in the branches and boughs of trees, making the familiar suddenly unfamiliar.

Fata Morgana

Vision of the sky walkers commissioned for 5 short performances by the European Arts Festival in Lincoln, and developed into a full show in 1993, during a residency at On the Move Dance Festival, Dumfries/Galloway – Scotland. Fata Morgana is an artistic hybrid, a crossover of the world of theatre, circus and dance, a stunning exploration of visual theatre around the theme of mirage.

Shimadai – When Orchids Fly

A floral extravaganza, a feast of poetry in motion, an explosion of sounds and colours, but most of all an affectionate, life affirming story that will move hearts. Shimadai is homage to Mothers and their dedication to the family in its many different forms: the comedies, tragedies, romances and curiosities. To be staged in a series of garden, park and woodland locations to portray family life: growing together, growing apart, blossoming and radiating, but most of all, belonging. Fleeting images, culminating in an explosive finale and underscored throughout by a pulsating soundtrack, will leave the audience immersed in the fragrance of an orchids’ bouquet.

Al Amor del Agua

Exploring the sense of journey and migration this poetic and highly visual, dynamic aerial production is performed on ships and historical vessels. Inspired by the poetry of Nobel Prize winner, Pablo Neruda, al Amor del agua expresses the themes of love, passion for life and exile, nostalgia and hope. Driven by a dynamic soundtrack from the Italian Svoboda Orchestra the performance sweeps the audience off their feet into a dance of longing and a celebration of life and change.

Landscapes of the Heart

A personal homage to the seductive pull of the city. Inspired by Marco Polo’s visions of imaginary metropolis in Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities, Landscapes suggest in equal measure the sense of displacement and belonging which urban living endows the traveler/emigrant/refugee. ‘Landscapes of the heart, is a place for imagining and dreaming the possibilities of cities, the enormity of which has given us the chance to fly…

Hajar

Hajar is a joyous feast of gravity defying aerial choreography, stilt dance and acrobatics, poetic and striking visual images underscored by a dynamic soundtrack.

Danza Antigua

Blending dynamic stilt work and amazing aerial choreography, this 20 minute act combines aerial dance and acrobatics on stilts with stunning costumes to create a spectacular performance. Shadowy figures dance in a romantic netherworld, regularly interrupted by two aerial spirits dancing mischievously in the air on hoop and silks. Entwined together in a dramatic embrace, the living dead sweep across the floor with tangos, salsa and cha cha chas. The infectious soundtrack sweeps the audience off their feet and will transform any ordinary space into an unforgettable gothic theatre to thrill your audience.
