🌌 Up in the Sky – on tour! 

Up in the Sky is a thrilling aerial adventure for families, where dance takes flight and imagination knows no bounds! Performed on a giant 7-metre circular structure, 6 incredible performers leap, spin and soar through the skies in a playful tale about 2 siblings, finding your way, and what makes us feel at home. This bold new show blends spectacular aerial movement, music and magical visuals to inspire hearts of all ages. Gather round, look up, and join us for a journey above the clouds! 🌤 

 

Taking to the skies are performers Hauk Pattison, Jamie Higgins, Johnny Autin, Mitch Davis, Naissa Bjørn, and Sebastian Parker, who will bring this powerful and poetic story to life on a stunning 7-metre aerial structure.
