A street/festival aerial show dedicated to finding whimsy and imagination in every audience member, young and old. A fun, quirky and high energy skill-show inspired by steam- and diesel-punk with a touch of Seuss, The Flying Machine brings together 4 cirque-style aerial dance performances, into one fantastical show. Using aerial rope (corde lisse), lyra, stilt dance and dance trapeze, the quirky Professor Leedle Deedle Beedle takes her audience on a tour of her latest and most spectacular “flying” inventions.
