FLIGHT OF THE ESCALES
MAKERS OF PERFORMANCE, THEATRE & FILM THAT IS PERSONAL, POLITICAL & EXPERIMENTAL.
EXPLORING & DEBUNKING POWER STRUCTURES, SUBVERTING EXPECTATIONS & CHALLENGING THE STATUS QUO.
MISCHIEVIOUSLY & POETICALLY, WE EXPLORE ALTERNATIVE PERSPECTIVES, TO RE-IMAGE & OFFER ALTERNATIVE NARRATIVES TO THE STORIES THAT WE THINK WE KNOW.
STRADDLING GENRES, OUR WORK IS PHYSICALLY & VISUALLY RICH, MERGING THE INTIMATE WITH THE EPIC, THE SURREAL WITH THE MUNDANE, THE SILLY WITH THE SERIOUS.
INTERESTED IN HOW PERFORMANCE IS AN ACT OF JOY, COMMUNITY, POETRY & PROTEST - WE OFTEN POSITION OURSELVES OUTSIDE OF TRADITIONAL PERFORMANCE VENUES & IN RELATION TO THE COMMUNITIES AND PLACES WE ARE IN.
WHO WHO WHO WHO WHO WHO
FLIGHT is the beast-child of theatre maker, director, writer and performer Sarah Calver. Created as company to make new work and explore experimental and collaborative processes.
​
Working in collaboration with a talented group of cross-disciplinary artists, Flight develops, devises and mounts original work. We also work with communities and non-performers, who often perform in the work.
​
FLIGHT has created, performed and toured work across the UK and Europe. With a regular home in East Anglia, we have been generously supported by Norwich Theatre, Dance East and The Cut. We are often funded by Arts Council England and local funding bodies.
​
With an experimental, cross-genre performance style, FLIGHT sits at the intersection of theatre, dance, performance art and immersive worlds.
​
We regulary collaborate with Designer MAYOU TRIKERIOTI, Video & Media Designer RORY WILLATS & Sound Designer GARTH MCCONAGHIE.
