BICYCLE BALLET

The Bicycle Ballet is a fantastical choreography on bicycles exploring the sheer ecstatic joy you feel as you swerve downhill on a bike; the wind behind you and the sun on your face, tempered by the gritty reality of urban cycling - manoeuvering amongst traffic, pollution, theft, vandalism and securely locking your bike.

The Bicycle Ballet is a 30 minute outdoor performance by a core group of 6 artist/cyclists/acrobats and up to 100 volunteer performers – individuals, people from community groups and local cycling clubs. The core performers dance and cycle between set formation pieces offering a strong overall visual impact and character based on stories inspired by people’s cycling experiences – learning to ride, fall off, tricks – and memories.

The performance will launch on Madeira Drive, Brighton at 4pm and 6pm on Car Free Day, 22nd September 2006.
