Three generations recast their narrative
Intergenerational circus with lots to say: the personal is political, their fury is fun and the acrobatics downright dangerous – especially when life gets in the way. Casting Off defies stereotype as these dynamic Australian women tumble, talk, fly, and balance precariously.
A disarming and hilarious show about living on the edge and talking about it; and how it’s easier done than said. Circus that makes you laugh and cry simultaneously! Relaxed, personal and fantastically inappropriate. The artists are Debra Batton (62), Sharon Gruenert (44) and Spenser Inwood (32).
A Good Catch makes arthouse circus with a devising and democratic process. They experiment with circus structures with a feminist tone and a proactive attitude. They formed in 2017 creating Bridges for the Mullumbimby Circus Festival followed by Casting Off for the Circus Oz Sidesault at the Melba experimental circus festival. Casting Off has since performed at Edinburgh, Adelaide and Melbourne Fringe Festivals, Bondi Feast and WA Circus Festival. The production has won three fringe awards including The BankSA Best Circus & Physical Theatre Award – Adelaide 2019 The Total Theatre & Jacksons Lane Award for Best Circus at Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2018, and Best Circus at Melbourne Fringe 2018. They find joy in each other’s strengths, challenges and weaknesses, and in support of new possibilities.
