Have you lost

the time to care

for yourself?

In this performance,

the artists fight for time

to care for themselves,

care for each other

- even under extreme circumstances.

How hard is it to care under tension?

In the middle of a whirlwind?

At great heights?

While feeling pain?

Renowned British circus director Jason Dupree,

acclaimed choreographer Alise Bokaldere (LV),

and the phenomenal aerialist Izabele Kuzelyte (LT)

join forces, creating a unique, hypnotic, and powerful contemporary circus performance,

blending contemporary dance, hair hanging, aerial rope, and reinvented Baltic folk music.

One dancer,

one aerialist,

and one rope

tethered together in their R-evolving relationship.

REVIEWS

"One of the best new Circus shows I've seen in ages. It's a wonderful reminder that you can still see new things that surprise you and take your breath away. Technically brilliant with a powerful emotional impact. Very highly recommended." - Steve Cowton, The Lowry

"How a Spiral Works had its UK premier at Jacksons Lane in 2025 to an enraptured sold-out audience. The hypnotic, almost zen-like circus and choreography had the audience gripped from start to finish. An absolute highlight of our first 50th anniversary season." - Adrian Berry, Jacksons Lane

‘In the current world where everything is fast-paced, caffeinated and loud, This piece was a beautiful

contrast. A performance full of care, that took its time, and allowed my brain space to engage. If you want a

reset then this performance is the one’ - Audience Member
