Natural Wings

Natural Wings is a unique and spectacular work from aerial dance pioneer Dawn Pascoe, who shares both her art and her heart in this captivating performance. Renowned for her strength, grace and innovation, Dawn weaves together a breathtaking array of aerial acts with warmth, humour and disarming honesty.  Through soaring physicality and intimate storytelling, she reflects on motherhood, resilience and the quiet pressures of “keeping up appearances” as a strong woman—while revealing that sometimes, all she really wants is for someone to bring her a cuppa.  Blending the extraordinary with the everyday, Natural Wings is visually stunning, deeply relatable and joyfully human—a moving, funny and inspiring experience for audiences of all ages.
