Fidget Feet

Fidget Feet Aerial Dance Theatre is a pioneering performance company that stretches the boundaries between several art forms. Combining spectacular aerial skills with contemporary circus, Fidget Feet create theatre fused with aerial dance, music and video art.
Fidget Feet create spectacular contemporary circus for the outdoor sector – suspended from cranes, trees, buildings and boats. Fidget Feet also specialise in aerial dance for indoors, and site-specific work for the theatre and festival sector.
Artistic director Chantal has been working for 11 years as an aerial dancer and choreographer, mixing her skills in contemporary dance with circus to define aerial dance, a new art form in Ireland and England. Jym Daly has worked as a painter, musician (Loop Guru) and circus performer, touring the world with prestigious acts and companies for the last 30 years. Chantal and Jym’s skills working together is what make Fidget Feet a unique and original performance company.
