A slap in the face collision of super-charged circus and heart-pumping music. Australia's freshest leading acrobats join forces with a trio of beat-boxing, drum stick wielding and record scratching musical prodigies, in this force-fuelled production.
Tom Tom Crew / Artistic overview
A leading force amongst Australia's independent theatre producers, Strut & Fret Production House have brought together some of Australia's most talented musicians and circus artists to create the Tom Tom Crew. Hardcore tumbling, out-of-control acrobatics and severe aerial antics are all on the agenda in this Crew, as acrobats flip, fly and slam up the stage as hard and fast as the boys with beats. This is circus at its most extreme where the dynamic explosiveness of the human body is matched by the sheer power of hip-hop rhythms.

The future of Australian circus and hip-hop music exploded into action at the 2006-2007 Woodford Folk Festival. This fusion of breaks, beats, flips and awe inspiring physical spectacle has since toured nationally and internationally, continuing to amaze and delight audiences worldwide. Highlights include performances at the Sydney Opera House, the Rotorua Arts Festival, a 3 week tour of The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, a season at New York's New Victory Theatre, a five week season at London’s Southbank Centre and 21 sell out shows in a row at the 2009 Edinburgh Fringe.
