Natalie Inside Out

Playful, beautiful and highly skilled, Natalie Inside Out sees hand balancer Natalie Reckert and digital artist Mark Morreau pool their talents in a strikingly intimate show about the vulnerability of a circus artist as she struggles to achieve something extraordinary.

Fusing exceptional circus tricks and interactive technologies, Reckert and Morreau playfully investigate the relationship between Reckert’s flesh-and-blood body and its digitally-represented counterpart. They mix live acrobatic performance of challenging hand-balancing moves with extreme close-up slow-motion video and talk about the personal emotions, challenges and stories behind the thrilling facade. Morreau transforms Reckert’s live movement on stage into beautiful expansive graphic landscapes of the body on screen, showing how digital media can actually illuminate the mechanics, emotions and motivations of the human body.
