Arts In The Parks Event

The Flying Machine

The Flying Machine is a 30 minute aerial and acrobatic show featuring three artists performing on stilts, aerial rope, aerial hoop and a duo dance trapeze performance. Drawing from circus, dance, physical theatre and clown, we tell the story of a quirky inventor who, with the help of her assistants and the audience, builds a machine that can travel through space and time. Through her experiments we discover the power of human strength and resourcefulness in overcoming obstacles as she invites audience members of all ages to awaken their imaginations and find their sense of whimsy.

Community members will have the opportunity to join social circus ambassadors SoCirC for free workshops before the shows, where they will be introduced to circus skills such as juggling, object manipulation, and balancing. Participants who choose to will also have the opportunity to perform their newfound skills at that evening’s show.

Workshop 5:30PM-6:15PM
Show at 6:30PM
