CIRCLE – A New Online and Film Project

9 February 2022

All or Nothing aerialist Saya performs on a dark blue silk. The silk is suspended from the ceiling at Out of the Blue Drill Hall in Leith, beneath a glass ceiling. She has the silk wrapped round her waist with her toes pointed, looking towards the ground below her.

This week we are developing an online and film project CIRCLE with Korean Performing Art Development, MARO.

Originally intended to be live and in person, with both companies working here in Scotland, we are now online still working together and connecting creatively.

We’re fusing traditional Korean music and arts with Scottish aerial dance and music.

And thanks to a director’s bursary from Federation of Scottish Theatre, aerial and dance artist Beverley Grant is joining as assistant director. Also featuring Chrissie Ardill, Saya Yamaguchi and the beautiful song of Evie Waddell.

From Leith to Jeju.
