Woodland Aerial Nymph

I got back in the real moss costume for Petersham Road for another woodland celebration - this time a luxurious engagement party in the woods. Aerialist Diego and myself performed aerial hoop from the trees, as guests walked along a candlelit platform through the trees, to a bespoke venue erected in the middle of a tree clearing in Hampshire. Our fabulous riggers were once again, Artful Rigging. They allowed us to fly up and down, above the heads of guests. The organic materi

Floating as a Jellyfish at Goodwood for Viva

The dinner on Saturday at Goodwood Revival had an Atlantis theme, with every detail beautifully bringing the underwater city to life. Guests entered via a cascade of water which smelled of the sea, animated by a mermaid. Marble columns, a shipwreck bar, seaweed decorations and tropical island table decorations with sand, shells and dune plants created a spectacular setting, enhanced with lighting which rippled across the grand dining room marquee. Viva Aerial Dance was commis
