Through stunning displays of Aerial artistry weaved with comedy and physical theatre, Tandem celebrates our similarities, differences and what is possible when two women put their muscles together.

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"

FINDING FLIGHT
Finding Flight is a magical show, where we share insights into our work and ourselves. You'll learn about how Natural Wings became the company it is today, while having a laugh at our mis-adventures and witnessing the spectacular, intricate and special acts that we adore - including the doubles trapeze act that won Toronto Buskerfest, which is one of the largest Street Art Festivals in the world.
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 and spectacular show for the whole family.
The Candy Girls are an all dancing, all circus trio, who perform a myriad of spectacular stunts, while trying to trip each other up. They may seem sweeter than candy at the beginning - until their pranks unravel, leaving your cheeks sore from smiling and your sides sore from laughing. Fun for all ages.
Suitable for Outdoor Festivals as well as indoor venues.
Ground based show or can include Aerials.
The skills displayed are stunning, with routines carefully prepared and choreographed to fit perfectly with the musical soundtrack.
Candy 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 "

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 October 2019)
Elements is a larger scale show that works beautifully in site specific locations, such as a salt lake.

FLAWS and ALL
Stunning, Raw, Aerial Theatre and Physical Comedy

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.
