the superhero, the acrobat and the child

Hello Arts Victoria, please give us money: "We are interested in the crossover between the superhero, the acrobat and the child. Each has a terrifying vulnerability to danger and yet shows immense strength; there is a sense of safety in the middle of danger. We are using acrobatics and circus skills to explore the physical world of suburbia: brick walls, shed roofs, monkey bars and bunk beds. Alongside this, we are using clown, dance and performance work to play with the imagined world of the superhero: the alter ego, the secret identity, the villain, the last minute rescue and the idealistic moral code. We are interested in the superhero fantasy that allows a powerless person to imagine the changes they want to see in the world." (quote from the grant submission i'm writing)she's so tough....
