An interactive performance with dance ‘games’, encouraging playful participation to connect people of all ages with the childlike joy of play. With a fun soundtrack, these spontaneous choreographic games are elegantly facilitated by our friendly team of skilled performers – some games are fun to watch, others invite gentle playful participation.
Join Phileas Fogg and his valet Passepartout as they attempt to circumnavigate the world in just 80 days. The year is 1872 and it’s day 79 of the journey. Our intrepid adventurers are just hours away from crossing the finish line, if they can just coerce their hot air balloons to go in the right direction they stand to win a grand prize.
With a blend of acrobatics, movement and humour, this heart-warming performance celebrates hope and support to leave you with a smile, unforgettable imagery and a spring in your step.
Taking place in, on and around an old-school London Taxi, Pirate Taxi has original live music, humour, a mechanically ingenious set, and extraordinary aerial performance.
A charmingly ridiculous performance, taking place on a giant revolving beach parasol. You’ll be swept away as this show embraces everything you love about the beach. The spinning parasol creates the perfect setting for eccentric beach loving characters. Watch as their world collides with yours, as sophistication turns to chaos in this aerial circus performance.
An outdoor show that combines circus, dance, theatre and live music to re-enact the original horror story. The one about the monster, and the monster’s mother, and the dragon and the hero and the severed limbs. Dark, comic and physically dangerous this is a modern re-telling of that ancient epic, Beowulf.
