All or Nothing Aerial Dance Theatre and Room 2 Manoeuvre, two of Scotland’s most prolific companies working in the world of physical performance, are looking for young people in P4 to P7 and S1 to S6, based in and around Falkirk, Grangemouth, Stirling and Dunblane, to take part in a week of aerial and movement skills workshops [in two separate groups] at Grangemouth Town Hall between 08 and 12 April 2019. The students, who require no previous experience, will be working towards a short piece they will create together and perform at FTH (Falkirk Town Hall) Theatre on 27 April in front of an audience.
The intensive week of workshops is being run in conjunction with All or Nothing and Room 2 Manoeuvre’s new production, Heroes, a humorous new show for all the family, featuring a stunning fusion of breathtaking aerial acrobatics, dance theatre, contemporary circus and visceral choreography, that will will be performed at FTH Theatre on 27 April at 19.30. It delves deep into the worlds of idols and idolisation, celebrity and celebrity culture and heroes and superheroes; investigating what characterises a celebrity, who society’s hidden heroes really are and why we are compelled to idolise them.

The P4 to P7 workshops will run from 11.00 to 13.00 and will cost £70 for the five days. The S1 to S6 workshops will run from 14.00 to 17.00 at a cost of £100. For further details on the aerial workshops at Grangemouth Town Hall, Bo'ness Road FK3 8AN, from 08 to 12 April 2019, and to sign up go to http://www.falkirkcommunitytrust.org/whats-on/events/event.aspx?eid=6695&did=35800
Jen Paterson, Artistic Director of All or Nothing Aerial Dance Theatre, said: “Our fun but intensive workshops will definitely keep the kids flying high in the Easter holidays! They are being run in association with Falkirk Community Trust and are based around the themes of our new touring show, Heroes - celebrity culture, idols, superheroes and real heroes".
Our professional and experienced team of tutors and performers from All or Nothing and Room 2 Manoeuvre will be working with the students as they take to the air, learning the basic moves and tricks on aerial equipment. This will be combined with physical theatre movement skills and techniques on the ground. Over the week the young people will work towards creating a short performance piece, developed from their own ideas and the flying and physical performance skills they have learnt. As a group they will perform their piece in front of a live audience at Falkirk Town Hall Theatre at the end of April before we perform Heroes.
“We are keen for young people in P4 to P7 to sign up for our morning group and S1 to S6 for our afternoon group. No superhero flying experience is necessary for those who want to get involved!”
All or Nothing and Room 2 Manoeuvre’s touring show, Heroes, is the light-hearted journey of two performers, Tony Mills and Beverley Grant, as they navigate their way through the pretty unforgiving world of celebrity culture.
Asking some profound universal questions with humour, straight talking and lots of graceful, intense and symbolic aerial and circus movement, the performers examine what it really means to be labelled a celebrity, why some will stop at nothing to achieve it; and the process of being thrust into the spotlight and the dramatic and ruthless fall from grace that often results.
The Heroes tour has been made possible with funding from Creative Scotland and support from The Work Room, The Brunton Theatre, Platform and Irish Aerial Creation Centre.
Advised age for Heroes is 7 years+
