All or Nothing Aerial Dance Theatre

All or Nothing are Scotland’s leading aerial dance company creating, performing, teaching and pioneering aerial arts in Scotland since 2006. Based in Edinburgh, they blend breathtaking aerial acrobatics with dance, theatre and contemporary circus.The company began touring Scotland in 2010/11 with Uncharted Waters, a co-production with StrangeBird Zirkus. In recent years, All or Nothing has attained new heights in their work, creating Sprawl, a dance theatre duet for all ages, Three’s a Crowd, an ambitious and exciting piece for six performers, as well as their stunning crane show commission for SO Festival, What A Picture! They flew through the trees in the outdoor sound and light show Enchanted Forest, and partnered on two Commonwealth projects; White Gold in the historic sugar sheds in Greenock, and Cryptic’s night time nautical extravaganza, Sound to Sea, in which they danced down the roof of Glasgow’s iconic Science Centre. Most recently they have been flying from the Tyne Bridge in Newcastle as part of Freedom on the Tyne, dancing on the side of buildings on Princes Street for Edinburgh’s Hogmanay Street Party, and spinning to the tunes of the Grit Orchestra for Celtic Connections spectacular Bothy Culture and Beyond.Teaching, training and participation are vital to the company’s work and they run classes for all ages and abilities throughout the year, as well as their aerial tasters project Watch, Fly, Come, Try and one-off professional programmes such as Flying High, upskilling dancers to perform aerial harness. They have also worked in partnership with festivals and arts organisations such as Luminate, Scotland’s festival of creative aging, The Beacon Arts Centre in Greenock, and On Fife, Fife’s Cultural Trust, to deliver longer-term engagement projects designed specifically for diverse audiences and participants and constantly challenging assumptions about who can do aerial. All or Nothing are currently developing 2 performance projects. Heroes, an aerial dance circus theatre show for small scale touring. And a three-year project combining their expertise in high quality participatory work, professional training and their artistic and aerial skills for Ticking of the Clock, a large scale participatory event that will involve communities across Scotland creating aerial installations and culminating in a spectacular crane show. www.aerialdance.co.uk Facebook /AllorNothingADT  Twitter @AllorNothingADTInstagram @allornothingadt
