Focal Point

The finale performance of the Fuse Art Festival was Focal Point, a fiery spectacular of aerial daredevilry and pyrotechnic explosions on board LV21 at Rochester Riverside. This was a collaboration with pyrotechnics experts The World Famous and multi-disciplinary aerial performance artists Scarabeus Theatre. Focal Point was a truly unique performance. You can watch a short film here.

1,000 Revolutions Per Moment

Our first public performances took place during the Fuse Medway Festival in June 2010 when we collaborated with Periplum who brought their 1,000 Revolutions Per Moment to the ship. This city-specific theatre trail celebrates music’s role as an agent of change in the life of the city and its inhabitants. The action unfolds in real locations – houses, parks, pubs, streets & alleyways – a sonic odyssey through hidden & iconic sites. 1,000 revolutions draws on local social history to create a thrilling journey of urban exploration in search of the city’s heartbeat.

We are also collaborating with local theatre groups who are developing site specific performances that will bring LV21 back to life.
