All or Nothing are Scotland’s leading aerial dance company, performing, teaching and developing talent. Pioneering aerial arts since 2006, our vision is aerial for all and our mission is to amaze, inspire and challenge people through aerial dance theatre.
All or Nothing make and perform work with some of Scotland's top circus and dance artists. We tour extensively across Scotland, nationally and more recently looking internationally, both with our own work and aerial elements for events since 2011.
Over the past 4 years we have toured our family outdoor piece, The Swings, to 44 venues across Scotland, the UK and most recently Canada. Our short aerial dance film Floor Falls, created in collaboration with Cagoule Productions, has screened at 27 film festivals worldwide.
Much of our work encompasses outdoor and large scale spectacle. We have hung from cranes for the award winning Paisley Halloween Festival, flown through the trees in outdoor light shows and danced down iconic buildings such as the Glasgow Science Centre, along Princes Street for Edinburgh’s Hogmanay, the Tyne Bridge in Newcastle and a company favourite Celtic Connections Bothy Culture and Beyond with the Grit Orchestra and Danny Macaskill.
Participation is vital to us. Believing aerial dance is for everyone, we develop a myriad of opportunities for it to happen. We constantly challenge assumptions of who can do aerial, engaging as many people as possible, developing audiences and participants and collaborating widely.
We were part of NTS’s Like Flying, a performance project in schools to tackle anxiety and give teenagers opportunities to fly - literally and in many other ways. Outreach projects include Creatability with the Beacon Arts Centre for ASN young people, We All Fly Together with SCORE Scotland at WHALE Arts in Edinburgh and Lift Off Leith with young people from our local area.
Our weekly classes support over 500 people aged 5 to 85, to climb, hang, swing and get upside down with aerial arts.
