Into the Park Film by David8 Photography
We brought into the park back to edlington and stainforth this summer!
Community members from Edlington and Stainforth joined us in their local parks and took part in this summer family event. No Fit State brought their new production ‘Bamboo’ to Into the Park this year.
Into the Park was made possible by our fantastic partners who brought free activities along to the day for families to get involved in.
Families brought their own picnic, watched the performances and enjoyed a day in their local park.
“A SUMMER FAMILY EVENT THAT BRINGS JOY AND CELEBRATES THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT ON A LOCAL LEVEL.”
“Bring your own picnic!”
About No Fit State - Bamboo
A spectacular new high-impact, high-skill outdoor circus production using only bamboo and human bodies - revealing the fragility and beauty of our interconnected and interdependent life on this planet.
The artists arrive at an empty stage, bringing bundles of bamboo. They build towering sculptures which morph, transform and become an improbable, delicate circus playground that seems to defy the laws of physics.
Inhabited by world-class circus artists and acrobats, the structures bend, and flex, adding to the tension, drama, and sense of jeopardy that lies at the heart of great circus.
A meaningful, joyful performance with live music, comedy and amazing feats of strength and agility. We celebrate what’s possible when humans and the natural world trust each other and work in harmony.
