Matilda leyser is doing a performance of her new piece, 'point' at the linbury studio on the 31st October and the 1st of November. I have been working with 'Tilly' on this piece and on the rigging of her full length show which is currently in rehearsal. This piece is performed on a narrow cloud swing and involves the use of narrative. If you can come allong please do.... I would reccomend this to anyone interested in theatre / circus crossover.

This weeks highlight involved with de-rigging for 'early redemption' at Fabrica in Brighton
This was an art / theatrical event where the artist / performer was using a harness to create a giant 7 meter artwork over amost an entire month - here's a photo of it in progress from the independent newspaper.
other gigs involved rigging for a aerial theatre show - 'the Helliosphere' at Brands Hatch for a motor racing event, rigging a swing for an actress in a photography studio in fulham for a promotional event in the style of moulan rouge.

This weeks highlight was with the Generating Company rigging for the tour of the new show 'lactic acid'.
Very hard work to put this show into two very different theatre venues in one week,
(hard is a bit of an understatement), still - the shows went well.
