As director of Fuse Medway Festival, Dizzy O’Dare first came onto my radar in 2008 performing a charming tightwire piece Anon as part of the emerging artists for the Festival. Since then I have been supporting the company whenever possible with space-in-kind, technical and marketing support and I have enjoyed watching this innovative company grow. They have become a staple part of the Fuse Medway Festival and have secured themselves as one of the leading performing arts companies in Medway. The company has gone from strength to strength, always challenging themselves and their audiences. From The Inky Deep is a contemporary outdoor circus show, which uses tightwire and aerial circus in new and novel ways whilst also exploring a powerful narrative. It is already a very exciting show but I’m sure it will grow into a great outdoor show. Kate Hazel Director Alchemy Productions
