We’re looking to recruit an experienced, efficient and reliable General Manager to work closely with our Artistic & Executive Directors to be the strategic lead across our programme of professional and participation activities.

OUR HOUSE IS ON FIRE

A unique short-film circus production exploring climate change, sustainability and social justice from the perspective of young people. Commissioned by Jacksons Lane Arts Centre, it has been created with young aerialists and teachers from our Take Flight programme.

Powerflex is a vertical journey where the building becomes the vessel for exploring power. On the tower 4 aerial artists, using its high visibility in proximity and at distance, expressed the triumphant feeling of being powerful, in charge of one’s life and the ability to cause positive change for oneself and our community.

EMERGING centres on the relationship between a trans-son, who has experienced gender dysphoria for as long as he can remember, and his mother, as they embark on a journey into the unknown.

TAKE FLIGHT AERIAL CLASSES

An inclusive FREE programme year-long for young people aged 13-25. You’ll be introduced to aerial acrobatics, physical theatre and choreography to explore and develop aerial skills. You’ll get to develop some inspiring physical skills and moves on aerial cocoons, hoop, silks, rope and Chinese pole.

A CHILD OF STORIES

We are excited to share with you a short-film collaboration between Keys Meadow Primary School & Scarabeus Aerial Theatre. A Child of Stories invites you to join brother and sister Maya and Kwame on an unexpected journey which requires all of their courage and bravery.

Like many small arts charities, the COVID-19 crisis is having a huge impact on our already limited resources. We appreciate any donation to help us continue to fly!

Since 1988, Scarabeus Aerial Theatre has produced pioneering outdoor and indoor work fusing aerial skills with visual theatre in site-specific, immersive and touring performances. We create spectacular and unforgettable productions and participation projects dealing with contemporary narratives aimed at awakening empathy, ethical and political consciousness in our wide range of audiences.

My thanks to the fantastic team who performed so brilliantly. Scarabeus made a huge difference to the evening…

You are fantastic!

The official opening celebrations were a resounding success, largely as a result of performances such as Scarabeus…

You are awesome!

The sky’s the limit…

Scarabeus’ dance enwraps their audience in an illusionary atmosphere.

You produced something polished, visually stunning and with a unique sense of poetry.

Scarabeus is spectacular.

A sense of strange tantalising magic… captivating and uplifting.

Scarabeus creates an assault on the senses which is uplifting and transporting…real beauty and theatrical power. A visual and intellectual feast.

It was a truly magical, poignant and spectacular event.
