Background
Natural Wings Aerial Dance is based in Perth Western Australia. Since establishing in 2005, Australian audiences (and beyond) have been spellbound by the dynamic and lyrical work of founder, Dawn Strindberg.
Dawn has extensive experience in the Arts, and has two performance based degrees: Diploma in Circus Arts (CircoArts, New Zealand) BA in Theatre Arts (Western Australia's Academy of Performing Arts)
She has performed at various events in Australia and New Zealand, and has been labelled by circus professionals as 'Dynamic and Lyrical.'
Such events include: Circus Proms: trapeze with Christchurch Symphony Orchestra, World of Wearable Arts Shows, Corporate Aerial performances at Burswood and Matilda Bay, and New Years Eve at 'The Shed' nightclub, to name a few.
Her solo Circus Theatre show, "The Life of Eileen" won "Best Solo Show" at the Wellington Fringe Festival 2006, and has since been performed in Christchurch and Perth.
New Circus Theatre shows are devised throughout the year, and may involve collaborating with other companies / performers such as; Isobel Lyall (Disco Cantito) Jenny Ritchie (Suspend Aerial Circus Theatre) Laura Motherway and Marisa Gareffa (Mondo di Corpo) and Empress Stilt Dance.
