Jacksons Lane, with leading circus ensemble Lost in Translation, have announced UK touring dates for new show Luminosa – at a time when there are very few new touring circus shows in the UK, this major production offers high quality, accessible circus in the form of a brand-new circus cabaret for the 21st Century.
The production, directed by Adrian Berry (Artistic Director of Jacksons Lane) and Massimiliano Rossetti (Artistic Director of Lost in Translation) will tour to venues including Worthing, Bristol and Manchester
A sizzling, scintillating night of daring feats with fun and fantastic performance, Luminosa is a ‘don’t miss’ night out with aerial, acrobatics, Chinese pole, live music by Peter Reynolds and more. Expect cutting-edge dance in the sky, jaw-dropping juggling, tipsy hoop swirling and laughter in this feel-good show from some of the very best of British and international circus artists.
Opening in the newly redeveloped Jacksons Lane building following its £4.5 million capital development, the company will work with Extraordinary Bodies and Upswing to employ a revolving cast of freelance circus artists and creatives throughout the tour. Keeping the show adaptable and relevant, local guest artists will join the core cast of seven for each venue giving it a bespoke edge. Luminosa will take many guises on tour, also offering family-friendly weekends, evening cabarets and experimental late nights with post-show DJs.
Artists will lead free circus outreach programmes in areas of social deprivation throughout the tour.
