ABOUT
Flight is dedicated to creating new, exciting, high quality inter-disciplinary live performance that is personal, political and experimental. Through our work we explore the unseen, the unwritten bits, the lesser explored perspectives. Our work is playfully subversive; deconstructing narratives, debunking expectations and challenging the status quo. Our performances are a mash up of poetic meanderings, mundane truths, physical and visual theatricality and stripped back intimacy.
Our creative process is collaborative - departing from a stimulus, researching thoroughly and devising original text and staging. We experiment with mixing genres and disciplines and use our own material, often drawing on the personal and autobiographical as a method of work.
We work with a range of artists from different specialisms, backgrounds and cultures who inspire the work, invigorate our practice, challenge us and help us explore new theatrical possibilities.
Visually, physically and spatial explorative, we are interested in engaging with audiences in new ways. Increasingly we are integrating documentary and non-fiction material into our practice and working with and in communities to integrate voices, perspectives and people into our work
Our performances and processes are well supported by venues and partners in the UK and internationally and we have worked with a talented range of creatives and performers. Flight is led by theatre maker and director Sarah Calver. We are based in East Anglia but perform all over.
