Unusual and site specific aerial work

We are especially interested in using circus in a theatrical context and as part of other shows. Annabelle is experienced in designing, creating and directing this kind of work.
PAST AERIAL SHOWS
Cirque De Poulet – Crane Spectacular
An enormous mother hen with 4 eggs flies into the air. The eggs come to life and perform surprise bungee bouncing, followed by a hatching striptease revealing synchronised burlesque chicks.
With beautiful crane choreography, a balloon release and a soundtrack from a live horn section, this tongue in cheek fun show will take your breath away.
(Originally commissioned for the Organic Food Fair in Bristol 2006, this show was performed on the dockside cranes; it could also be performed on a smaller scale on an aerial rig. It is a collaboration with Hive of Industry.)
Strange Sisters - Doubles Corde Lisse
"An inspirational routine, beautifully choreographed and stylishly performed" - No Fit State Circus
An enchanting tale of two sisters who hold the audience enthralled as they dance in perfect synchronicity in the air and on the ground. A visually stunning and evocative piece of innovative doubles corde lisse and dance theatre, this unique and atmospheric show combines high energy, beautiful imagery, danger and strength.
Well received by a wide range of audiences including: Stereophonic Circus (Glastonbury Festival & Shambala Festival) - Streets Alive (Bristol) - Circus Ricardo - Circ.elation (London) - Brighton International Circus Festival - Sherman Theatre, Cardiff - Rocket Festival, Spain - Stockton Riverside Festival.
"(they)...used the circus rope to spectacular effect. The dance and movement they wove in a graceful and at times frenetic display" - London Arts
Holland and Hales
Lovely chaps have a bit of harmless fun at the office. The super efficient Hales and the hapless Holland have an unlikely partnership, they will never be the next Richard Branson but ignorance is bliss! They live in their own little world of fun with challenges to overcome and charming jolly japes. This silent comedy show is set to an enchanting gramophone soundtrack.
Synchronised Silks Duet
With its beautiful aerial choreography this perfectly synchronised act is presented with grace, daring and style.
As they move together in the air, the duo captivates the audience with their strength and elegant synchronicity, leaving them always wanting more!
Cherubs Silks Hangabout
A delightful aerial duet straight from heaven. The cherubs scatter rose petals to the sound of a heavenly harp. Moving gracefully, suspended on red silks they will enchant and enthral with their creative aerial imagery.
Cops ‘n’ Robbers – Spanish Web, Bugsy Malone style!
A loveable rogue with a violin case of cash skulks around the audience and tries to avoid the beady eyes of the cop on the beat. Quirky Bugsy Malone style characters, comedy chases, dynamic spinning aerial web and a flying money finale.
Set to a lively klezmer soundtrack, this show inspires spontaneous audience clapping.
Doubles Trapeze
Moving on a trapeze suspended high above the ground this duet combines strength and beautiful imagery. Alternately the duo move above and below each other and the trapeze bar, one moment holding ropes and the next catching one another in a gravity-defying display of flexibility and grace.
Hanky Panky! - Solo Trapeze & Web
"the eye was drawn to her, aware of the explosive potential that was being contained!"
- Venue Magazine
Cabaret style trapeze act. Moving on and around the trapeze ropes in a sassy and stunning display of strength and grace. Also available as part of Moulin Rouge Show with doubles trapeze and Can Can dancers. And a more raunchy version for clubs. (Suitable for family events). Toured with Circus Ricardo, Foolhardy Folk Circus and performed at various events including cabaret, private party for Jay Kay (Jamiroquai), Bristol Community Festival and Leicester Square.
Being Free - Solo Corde Lisse
A dynamic and beautifully effortless performance. With fast spins towards the ground and graceful moments of stillness this piece will hold the audience enthralled. She starts spinning near the ground and can end with a breathtaking fast spin from one arm at the top of the rope (web optional).
