"Circus troupe ThisSideUp delivers the whole package and then some. Controlled Falling Project is a boisterous and beautiful exploration of the extraordinary heights the human body can reach. Directed by Robin Laurie, the show is expertly crafted and skilfully balances creative innovation with old-fashioned entertainment, all the while standing upside-down on one hand."
