Casting Off ^expired Free

Casting Off was at the Edinburgh Fringe festival in the Assembly Garden.
Presented by Sharon Burgess Productions and A Good Catch.
An all women, cross-generational show that challenges the conventions of circus and subverts expectations.
Casting off stereotypes, three generations of dynamic women tumble, talk, fly, and balance precariously; where the personal is political, the furious is funny, and the acrobatics are downright dangerous. A disarming, hilarious show about living on the edge and talking about it.
Self-directed, hand-knitted, and honouring the life events that get in the way of work, Casting Off is a theatrical circus experience that celebrates thoughtful, strong, and resilient individuals. A joyous accumulation of moments that shine a light on women relating to each other in playful, fruitful relationships. Flipping, climbing and flying to a soundscape of the many disparate texts (lists, poems, conversations, melodies, arguments and biographies) that embody each day. Casting Off is non- narrative circus with words that’s easier done than said.
