What is wirework?

'Wirework' is a technique used in stunt performance and action films to create the illusion of superhuman feats such as flying, jumping or defying gravity. It involves the use of wires, harnesses, and rigging equipment to suspend actors in mid-air and allow them to perform impressive feats.

Over 18 only. Advanced bookings only.

This is a physical workshop as such a basic level of fitness and mobility is required to take part.
