REVIEW EXTRACTS
'Mimbre is a contemporary acrobatic company consisting of three women with energy enough to power the national grid.' British Theatre Guide

'Tightly disciplined, beautifully choreographed, with moments of physical daring that took the breath away, this was high art indeed – ballet for the 21st century.' Venue

'The female trio mimbre astonish with their excess of poetic agility.' Journal de Tourcoing

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
Sprung A beautifully choreographed acrobatic story, where the performers emerge from an elastic screen to create a fast game with immense physical and acrobatic skills – grace and strength are mixed with vivid smiles and cheeky personalities.

Mimbre's Cabaret Acts Mimbre’s cabaret acts are slick and tight or bold and playful.  The two cabaret acts both impress and entertain with original and high-skilled acrobatics.

Fables and Ghosts Two walkabout pieces that use acrobatics to animate spaces. Fable is inspired by Marc Chagall’s paintings and suitable for children and family audiences; Ghosts creates an atmosphere of times gone past.

FUTURE PRODUCTION
The Bridge New show set on a beautiful, rounded bridge comprising a series of physical sketches inspired by the meetings there… Ordinary life and desperate drama take place; lovers meet, children balance on the railing, someone in despair is trying to jump off…

WRAP-AROUND ACTIVITY
Acrobatic performance workshops and performance related talks are offered for children or adults.
