FABRIC Fabric can be used in many ways to portray movement, grace, and fluidity.

For this we use a 15 foot adjustable extension poles and attach a 22 x 2 foot poly silk flags. Perfect for creating drama over large audiences. To create a look of water we work with large rolls of blue fabric .5 feet wide which can be stretched up to 30 feet long each. Each roll is operated by teams of two to creating a ripple water effect. Fabric can be performed as a solo act , or in an ensemble. It can be used environmentally to liven up a party or focused on stage as a choreographed act. |
