Dance and circus skills melt together in this glorious show from Brisbane companies Casus Creations and Mad Dance House. Six young, exceptionally bendy performers flex with grace and power to a soundtrack of new hip hop and R&B plus classic Tupac, Stevie Wonder and Salt-N-Pepa. There are impressive group routines where bodies tessellate and stack effortlessly upon each other, plus dazzling solos (come early for a seat near the front to properly appreciate all the footwork).  

Wanida Serce is part of Brisbane’s vogue ballroom scene (House Of Alexander) and brings an early highlight with her liquid, robotic dance routine. Queer performance artist/gymnast Riley Colquist contorts and writhes elegantly with flesh-coloured stilettos on their hands and feet, while Sam Evans mimes classic circus tricks of juggling and plate spinning, with body popping and Robocop choreography.

Acrobat Amy Stuart gracefully hula hoops then casually carries colleagues on her shoulders, and butch, swaggery B-boy Benny Bucho has a bus-stop dance battle with the lithe Colquist. It would be a spoiler to reveal what Ela Bart’s special skills are near the end, but the whole show is an extra-tightly packed, freshly squeezed extravaganza of amazing acrobatic poetry in motion. 

Assembly George Square Gardens, until 28 August, 2.55pm.
