What Am I Worth?

2 aerial artists suspended and entwined from straps: a white man in a wheelchair faces a muscular black woman - she is kneeling on his legs. There is an explosion of powdered paint around them in pink, green, blue and orange.

We are Extraordinary Bodies 2018 – Audio Described Version from Extraordinary Bodies on Vimeo.

 

A new outdoor show, touring from summer 2018.

In a world where there is not enough to go around, survival hangs in the balance and people are made to prove their worth. Against all odds, they dance, fly and sing on a tipping and spinning stage where the ground becomes the sky and the floor becomes the ceiling.

Who will be left when the world stops spinning?

A circus show with original live music and groundbreaking physical moments.

Extraordinary Bodies’ new show What Am I Worth? has been made with 150 people from across the UK and Ireland, some of whom will perform in the show with us.
Every performance will be audio described and sign language interpreted.
