Welcome to Upswing Aerial
Upswing Aerial creates stunning visual indoor and street theatre through aerial performance.
“a new flavour to circus and aerial dance”
Upswing aims to bring a new flavour to circus and aerial dance and to present work that connects with universal states and emotions, creating non-narrative dramatic choreography.
“a fusion of modern, classical and international styles”
The company looks to develop circus through a fusion of modern, classical and international styles, creating a new style of performance that will resonate with the African and West Indian community but that will, at the same time, challenge cultural barriers and expectation.
“work that is accessible and entertaining”
Upswing is committed to attracting new audiences, extending its work beyond the traditional settings for circus and dance to produce work that is accessible and entertaining but that retains it artistic integrity.
“a complex and creative art-form”
Upswing aims to secure the reputation of contemporary circus as a complex and creative art-form. To take circus beyond sequins and sawdust but not to loose touch with the origins of contemporary circus.
