Alula, Wise Fools

Fiona Thornhill, Jessica Ladley and Lil Rice have currently completed the BA Honors Degree at the National Centre for Circus Arts, where they all specialise in Cyr Wheel. They are the first and only three women in the world to have trained Cyr together for three years and have thus learnt to synchronise their movement whilst also developing individual styles. They are the founders and core members of Alula.

Alula wants to explore what it is like when you bring three new performers into a close-knit group and how this will affect the show and their relationships.

For Transmission the company will be exploring these ideas with Wise Fools, a female trapeze trio from Finland.

This is part of Transmission 2015.
This annual circus residency programme returns for its third year, with companies from all over the world developing new work and testing new technological ideas in the theatre and around the building, with the results of their creations in exclusive sharings at the end of each residency.

This year they introduce new disciplines such as parkour, triple trapeze and triple cyr wheel.

Come share in Transmission 2015 and be part of the creation of tomorrow’s new circus, today.
