About Us
All or Nothing Aerial Dance Theatre is a performance company and charity based in Edinburgh. Our work crosses the boundaries between the floor, the air and the space in between, merging aerial skills with dance theatre and contemporary circus. We have been creating exhilarating performances, enriching participation and pioneering the development of aerial arts in Scotland since 2006.
With performances ranging from small-scale theatre to large-scale outdoor spectacle, we tour extensively across Scotland and beyond, creating our own theatrical works as well as developing aerial elements for events.
Participation is vital to the company’s work; we believe that aerial is for everyone, developing and facilitating all kinds of opportunities for this to happen. All or Nothing constantly challenges assumptions of who can do aerial, opening up the artform to as many people as possible, developing audiences and participants, and collaborating with a wide variety of partners through our weekly recreational classes and community projects.
We are now entering the next phase of company development, having recently secured long-term core funding through Creative Scotland’s multi-year funding. We have an exciting few years ahead, developing and growing our creative work and our audiences and participants, and creating opportunities for aerial artists in Scotland including establishing Scotland’s first aerial performance ensemble. The Admin Officer will join the organisation at an exciting time and will have the opportunity to take ownership of, and propose developments and improvements to, our company systems and processes.
