| Unique | Born in a Taxi |

Based in Australia, Born in a Taxi's unique style of visual, physical and comical performances have kept them in high demand for entertaining people since 1989. Known for their ensemble work in which they move between sculptural beauty and comic interaction, onlookers become willing participants in a event that can unify a street or a room full of strangers. The dynamic and uncontrolled environment of a public space is ideal for allowing Born in a Taxi's improvisation skills to flourish. Years of experience have taught the company how to read an audience and pitch a performance accordingly. Whether you are after elegant beauty, side-splitting humour or both, Born in a Taxi will add playfulness and intrigue to any event. In 2004, two members of the company return to Europe with street theatre acts: ‘The Twins,' ‘The Fallen Angels' and ‘The Nudies.' The Twins Enter a world of the surreal as Jo-Anne masters four-legged dance routines and sings songs on the ukulele that will have you in tears. Her sisterly rivalry creates infinite problems. The Fallen Angels Trapped in the flightless world of human existence and hopelessly tempted by earthly distraction, these mischievous characters try to regain their lost place in Nirvana. Their absurd attempts to do so are beautifully innocent and tragically funny.
The Nudies These strange naked creatures are half mythical, half human, bent on reviving the ancient pastime of eccentric dance. Born
