Imaginaerial
Imaginaerial delves into the daily struggle through breath-taking aerial and acrobatic feats and presents an imagined reality of how our minds could function.
Imaginaerial tells a story of the “daily struggle” as expressed through aerial and acrobatic feats. Though a mix of physical artistry, athleticism and scientific underpinnings, the audience is taken on a journey through the timeline of life. The characters experience of life varies as they partake in numerous, seemingly normal, everyday activities that impact neural pathways. How does physical activity impact your mental well-being? What about excessive alcohol consumption or a sleepless night? Told through individual character development and the relationship between them, the characters are pulled in different directions and a divide forms between them. Early on in the piece, the daily grind and stresses of life leads one of the characters to a dark place and alludes to suicide. As the story progresses they improve their mental state through creating new neural pathways. This is expressed through the formation of good habits; healthy eating, adequate sleep, stress reduction and more. The story leaves the audience with hope. No matter where you might find yourself in life there is always a way to step closer towards the light at the end of the tunnel. Imaginaerial seeks to empower people to take small steps towards a brighter future.

Reviews
“I cried, I laughed, I left flabbergasted. The theme of this extraordinary 2 woman show is “ the daily struggle “ . it cleverly weaves aerial circus with comedy , drama and theatre as it follows the life of a couple moving through stages of life. The performance brilliantly manages to physically embody emotional states in a way reminiscent of modern dance and is set to a banging 80ies sound track . A real treat ” REVIEWED BY TOBY BELL 2020
“A brilliant performance of artistic prowess, involving two gorgeous girls with outstanding flexibility, grace and strength. The acrobatics was incredibly well-choreographed, and the performance touched on a range of genres and emotional topics that resonated with the whole audience. Would definitely recommend that everyone and anyone go see Imaginaerial – an imaginative delight” REVIEWED BY KIT PRENDERGAST 2020
