Anchored In Air

Anchored in Air is a mesmerising fusion of circus, dance, text and live music, taking audiences on a thrilling journey into the world of flying wheelchairs, integrated audio description, gravity-defying acrobatics, and the captivating challenge of navigating a colossal tower. The trio grapple with themes of identity and perceptions of ourselves- within the structures and confinements of society. Watch them clamber and tumble, as they navigate the ever changing and difficult world we live in.

Having created the show in 2024 the company have gone on to tour the work all over the UK and internationally- including at renowned circus festival Hopla in Brussels. While performing at Brighton Fringe 2025- the show was awarded the most Outstanding Dance award and has been celebrated for its artistic approach to intergrated access.

Press quotes

“The audio description was like poetry- an artform in itself”

the audio description was like poetry

“I will never shut up about how amazing head over wheels are and what a magical show they put together... acrobatics, compelling storytelling, queer joy, vulnerability and live music!” -Audience Reviews - Lukiškės Prison, Circulajia Festival

compelling story telling, queer joy, vulnerability

"The accessible elements were creative and considered, especially with the poetic approach to audio description. It was gentle and playful, and took audiences on a journey with the performers – the kids were mesmerised."
