REVIEW EXTRACTS
Brilliant! Ann Arbor just loved the company – people can't stop talking about it. Thank you for helping us bring Dream Engine to our festival.
Robb Woulfe, Executive Director, Ann Arbor Summer Festival, Michigan
The Heliosphere wowed the audience, and the conditions were so perfect…and it was more than fine, it was beautiful.
Liz Pugh, Walk The Plank, East Meets West
And then there was Conedancers…again, really beautiful.
Stewart Collins, Henley Festival

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
The Heliosphere
A helium-filled balloon rises and falls to a musical soundtrack as its aerialist, suspended below, tumbles and turns with balletic beauty. The balloon is manipulated from the ground by crew. (3 x 20 mins, 1 aerialist, 5 on the road.)
The Conedancers
A 21st century maypole! A boy and a girl walk up the sides of an 8m high air-filled cone. They dance and spin together around the cone, which glows and changes colour. (3 x 15 mins, 2 aerialists, 4 on the road.)
The Diamond
Fabricated in transparent PVC, The Diamond inflates to a height of 11m with an aerialist inside. The show combines a huge sculptural presence with the beauty of solo aerial dance. (3 x 10 mins, 1 aerialist. 3 on the road.)
The Candle
A giant transparent candle is illuminated against the night sky. An aerialist cocooned in silks emerges, and spirals and gyrates with hypnotic effect. (3 x 8 mins, 1 aerialist, 3 on the road.)
