Four young people are pictured mid-lift against a bright blue sky. On the right, a young woman wearing a blue singlet top piggybacks another young woman wearing a blue and red striped long sleeve on her back. They are both looking to the two young people on the left, who are a young man wearing a blue shirt carrying a young woman wearing a red singlet and blue shorts in a cradle hold. They are all smiling and playful.

How to Weigh a Balloon

FRINGE WORLD award winning dance-theatre companies Flying Bicycle Collective and Enneagon Movement present How to Weigh a Balloon: a bold new contemporary dance show created and performed by an intergenerational ensemble of young dancers and professional artists.

This youth-led performance collides dance, improvisational play and evocative sound to grapple with the questions young people have about their dreams and hopes in an unpredictable world.

In a gutsy and unique initiative, we pave the way for young artists to be platformed professionally on the FRINGE WORLD stage, empowering their pursuit of future creative pathways.

Witness magic and joy as two generations share the stage in a choreographic celebration that yearns for a positive and uplifting tomorrow.
