North Kesteven based arts development team artsNK have worked with professional Circus Director Zaq Andel of Birmingham company circusMASH to create the spell-binding new piece of outdoor aerial dance theatre, based around themes of imagination, wishes and fairytales.

The final performance will be on Sunday. Instinctive Photography

Dancers from artsNK will perform using dance, theatre, aerial hoop and aerial silks (long pieces of material which they wrap around themselves) suspended from the cedar tree.
