Something in the Air
Oily Cart and Britain's most exciting young circus performance company, Ockham's Razor, present Something in the Air, a new multi-sensory show for young people with complex disabilities or an Autistic Spectrum Disorder.
Something in the Air is an innovative aerial show in which the audience will be seated in special 'nest' seats and raised into the air to 'fly' in safety and comfort amongst the Ockham's Razor aerialists.
Something in the Air has been commissioned by Manchester International Festival and will premier at the Festival in July 2009. In the weeks leading up to the performances Oily Cart will be involved in a series of residencies at three Manchester special schools, Birches School, Grange School and Melland School.
At the end of the residencies, a group of young people from each school will participate in a series of performances of Something in the Air at the Contact Theatre, Manchester.
There will also be six public performances of Something in the Air during the weekend of the 11th July at the Contact Theatre, Manchester. The show is suitable for 3-19 year olds with complex disabilities or an Autistic Spectrum Disorder. Each young person must be accompanied by a parent or carer.
Tickets for these public performances are free and are available now by contacting Devina Kumar at Manchester International Festival on 0161 238 7325.
