** the first four shows are current and available to tour 2018 - 2020 **
TANDEM
Contemporary Aerial Theatre / Street Performance
In a stunning display of Aerial artistry weaved with comedy and physical theatre, Tandem tells the story of two sisters who appear to be the same to begin with, but throughout the show their differences unravel. While their individuality is magnified, they learn to stay true to themselves, trust, support, and put their feet in each other's face (by accident of course!)
An incredible display of strength, humour, friendship, fragility and circus!
WINNER of the WA Circus Award at the debut season at Fringe World 2015.
4.5 Stars - The West Australian
"Natural Wings have developed their own magic that moves beyond circus skills and engages us in the intimate dialogue of contemporary dance. The choreography taps into experiences and feelings that lie in the spaces of our shared existence that are without words, beyond words and yet affect us deeply, more than the power of words" - Australian Stage

FINDING FLIGHT
A selection of our favourite acts are performed, while sharing stories of how they were created, their journeys and all the adventures we've had along the way. You'll get an insight into what made Natural Wings the company it is today, while having a laugh at our mis-adventures and seeing the spectacular, intricate and special acts that we adore.
The acts in the show include:
*Doubles Trapeze from Elements (winner of Toronto Buskerfest)
*Dance Trapeze: about having a child. It was choreographed by Dawn when she was pregnant and is dedicated to all the parents out there.
*Hula hoops: This act is the comedy brain child of Ruth. It has been performed in numerous cabarets around the world, always with a raucous applause
**plus a few surprises...
Finding Flight works really well alternated with Tandem on the same day.

Three of Western Australia’s top female circus artists have joined forces to present a slapstick, spectacular and Dangerous show - for the whole family. Don't let the costumes fool you - these girls may look sweet... but be warned - they are definitely not as sweet as they look. But they can do very dangerous stunts, high in the air on the trapeze, juggling knives, throwing hula hoops, tripping each other up. . . all while smiling sweetly...
Suitable for Outdoor Festivals as well as indoor venues. A ground based option is also available.
" The skills displayed are stunning, with routines carefully prepared and choreographed to fit perfectly with the musical soundtrack.
Danger Girls is a show with serious circus craft and ability that is not merely “good enough for the kids” but is thrilling entertainment for adults lucky enough to attend. " - Australian Stage

FLAWS and ALL
Stunning, Raw, Aerial Theatre and Physical Comedy
Outer Images above by Jacqui Uhd, Centre image by Sari Blum
A raw, brave and beautiful circus-comedy about one woman’s flaws and all.
Perth’s own Dawn Pascoe is the beauty and brains behind Natural Wings (Winner of the WA Circus Award at Fringe World 2015 and 2016) and invites audiences to witness exquisite choreography on the ground and high in the air, delivering a stunning and quirky combination of aerial dance and physical comedy.
“I'm fascinated by the notion that we try to hide our flaws, our failures, our cellulite, our not-so-perfect lives which got me thinking: why not embrace these flaws? And how do I show this message using just my body, my creativity, two trapezes, a diabolo, an evolving costume and a cake?,”
★★★★ “A beautiful and complex, mesmerising experience ... a perfect fit" Melbourne Press 2016
★★★★ "Pascoe combines lyrical dance, clowning, diabolo, and aerial trapeze and the precision and mastery of all of those skills is evident in every moment she is on stage (or in the audience, as it turns out...). The extensions in her body lines demonstrate a rigorous classical dance training background, the muscle contours across her body show her strength, and the agility of her face is up with the best of Le Coq or Commedia artistes. "

Inspirational, Mesmerising, Innovative ... Beautiful
Elements is a visually spectacular show where the artists combine their aerial artistry with raw elements of water, earth, wind, light and relationships.
The audiences, regardless of age or culture, have been emotionally moved and inspired by this show, and it has proved to be very special to performer and audience alike.
**WINNER of Toronto Buskerfest 2013 and WA Circus Award 2015 **
(Elements is being remounted later this year, and available from July 2019)
Elements is a larger scale show that works beautifully in site specific locations, such as a salt lake.

PRODUCING LARGER SHOWS / CABARETS
Natural Wings are very familiar with producing shows with a variety of artists, for indoor and outdoor Cabarets.
We recently performed in the heart of Perth city alongside Dream State Circus with a new act every half hour. We performed trapeze, acrobatics, rope, hula hoops, juggling, fire and live music.
It attracted approximately 3000 people each night
We are available to produce, stage manage, perform in and co-ordinate cabarets for indoor and outdoor venues.
