Can't wait to see the first public sharing of Tilt! from Ascension at this year's Arts Fresco. Tilt! is an outdoor physical dance duet that delves into the complexities of balance, trust and shared resilience. Performed by a duo, the piece investigates how two bodies negotiate space, weight and vulnerability, whilst navigating shifting dynamics of communication.

See all of the performers for this year's festival (from 11am to 3.30pm on Saturday 13 September) on our website.
