 Justice in Motion and the Inspire Community marry exciting
 choreography and parkour athletics with beauty and
 humour, to tell a stimulating, moving tale that asks - what
 does freedom really mean?

 Atop towering scaffolding, a group of men ricochet around
 a building site. Their routine may give a sense of purpose
 and security yet behind the perimeter fencing, all is not as
 it first appears.

 The riveting, stunning ON EDGE performance involves an
 international cast including leading parkour athletes. Join
 them before the show to explore the sensational freedom
 of moving around the parkour construction site.

 A limited number of schools workshop opportunities are
 available by prior arrangement. Please contact:
 angharad.arnottphillips@themillartscentre.co.uk
