Upswing: a London based aerial, dance, theatre performance company.

 When the girls and boys come out to play who will come out on top in the game of love… A light hearted, fast paced fusion of aerial dance and hip hop centred around the pursuit of love.  Created as a collaboration between Vicki Amedume and Jonzi D, working with a group of young dancers and using staging and equipment that allows performers to explore new realms of movement. Loved Up follows its characters and their relationships in a show with old skool hip hop overtones.
