Bodies in Urban Spaces was a great free event put on as part of the fringe. It was an interesting mix of street theatre and acrobatics, a circus led tour of the backstreets of the city. Highlighting the overlooked spaces in our urban environment, performers choreographed a relay, slotting a mind boggling amount of bodies into the smallest of spaces. It was impossible not to marvel at the strength of the performers, some holding themselves up, four foot off the ground behind a road sign. They literally highlighted these overlooked spaces, dressed in a uniform of bright, block colour, enlivening the places which just don't see. It was a really enjoyable, light weight piece of street theatre that had a great atmosphere. I’m putting up some photo's I took on the day.
