The Candle
The candle is a quintessential Christmas motif, and this exquisite night-time performance piece will certainly provide that magical moment. Inside an 8-metre high transparent candle, bedecked with snow-white silks, an aerialist tumbles and turns attracting passers-by like moths to a flame. Complete with its own seasonal soundtrack, the performance culminates in a final flurry of swirling white flutterfetti. |

The Heliosphere
A large-scale spectacular addition to any Christmas programme. A giant helium balloon floats above the audience, manipulated by two ground-based performers. The balloon flies into the sky and then dips down almost within touching distance of the crowd. A silver-costumed aerialist is suspended from the balloon, spinning from a swivel harness with spectacular effect. The balloon can be lit from within with a variety of special effects and changing colours adding extra impact for night-time performances.
Minimum 15 m height required. |

The Diamond
A show with a big surprise! The Diamond blooms like a giant semi-transparent orchid as it inflates to a full height of 11m with an aerialist inside. Using lights and a specially created soundscape, the show combines a huge sculptural presence with the beauty of solo aerial dance. At the finale she vanishes. |

The Conedancers
A 21st Century maypole! A boy and a girl parodying every folk dance you have ever seen are pulled up the sides of a giant 8m high air-filled cone. A sound system inside forces them to dance, bouncing around the outside on bi-rotational harnesses. Suddenly they realise that their soulmate is on the other side but cannot reach them and the finale is a riot of passion and longing, the music loud and upbeat. The cone begins to glow with lighting effects. Finally they meet by climbing to the very top and they sink together down inside as the cone collapses…. |
