Critically acclaimed choreographer Chloe Loftus alongside legendary disabled artist Florent Develsaver present The Air Between Us, an outdoor aerial event that captivates audiences. Spiralling into the air, this counterweighted duet is a celebration of equality and connection.
Touring internationally, wowing over 29,500 audience, The Air Between Us explores a meeting point; between two bodies in space, in perfect equilibrium, crossing boundaries of culture, with curiosity and play. Arriving at this place from diverse backgrounds and experiences, Chloe and Rodney explore our innate capacity to exist in symbiotic harmony. Like planets encircling around each other, magnetically pulled by each other’s energy, this is an inimitable and mesmerising performance.
The work was originally created with award-winning dance artist Rodney Bell (pictured).
