Airborne coming to Mandurah Performing Arts Centre

Jill BurgessMandurah Coastal Times

PULSE Productions has created an exciting new work Airborne that explores the concept of flight and taking healthy risks.

Dynamic, raw, gutsy and courageous, it shows acrobats, skaters, dancers and circus performers meeting and facing off against each other as they consider their fears and insecurities and discover what it means to support and trust one another.

Airborne is inspired by the growing need as individuals and as a community to embrace and celebrate youth.
