Wendy Hesketh (Director).  Jamie Ogilvie (Technical Manager).

Wired are a two-strong, core team of dynamic and forward thinking creators and performers plucked from De La Guarda aerial theatre company. Combining their skills of contemporary dance, physical theatre, gymnastics, climbing, flying and many years of performance experience they have spent the last five years travelling the world creating and performing aerial magic along their way.

"Hesketh's performance attains some remarkable heights - about 12ft on average, though her superhuman bouncing is aided by the deployment of a bungee rope. Yet the technique is more than just a gimmick; there is stunning beauty in the way Hesketh levitates, robes flowing as if floating on an air current rather than suspended from above. As the founder of Wired Aerial Theatre, Hesketh has pioneered this form of bungee-assisted dance - the potential seems as long as a piece of elastic." The Guardian June 2008

Wired specialise in two main areas of aerial work: theatre-based aerial dance work and the site-specific aerial shows. Their long-term aim is to combine both these areas to create a large-scale, theatre based aerial stunt show to be performed in the UK.  Wired are now known worldwide for the use of this breathtaking aerial technique within their dance theatre productions.

Wired believe there is a unique beauty to aerial movement that they always aim to promote throughout their work. Whether this is displayed through massive stunts or subtle, simple movements, the magic of aerial performance is its facility to trick gravity.

When set free from gravity, you are only limited by your imagination.
