Aerial Dancers Enter Uncharted Waters

5 Jul 2011 in Dance & Drama

Uncharted Waters is an exciting new circus dance theatre show touring Scotland this summer and is a creative collaboration between Strangebird Zirkus and All or Nothing aerial dance theatre. Both companies are at the forefront of a dynamic new performance style emerging in Scotland, which crosses the boundaries between circus, dance and theatre.

Three short stories, narrated through contemporary circus and aerial dance. A moment of decision, suspended in time. Two women on a nautical journey. A secret…while your money lasts. The audience travel through the ebb and flow of worlds on the edge of reality, witness to fear and triumph. Be swept away by spectacular skill on Chinese pole, aerial fabrics and rope together with stunning imagery and haunting live music & song.

Uncharted Waters is performed and devised by Jennifer Paterson (All or Nothing Aerial Dance Theatre), Lucy Deacon & Moritz Linkmann (Strangebird Zirkus) and multi instrumentalist Dave Boyd and includes direction from Christine Devaney, dramatic development from Ben Harrison, support from Frank McConnell and soundtracks from David Paul Jones and Jym Daly of Fidget Feet.
