chinese pole, Capricious

Chinese pole. Avan Whaite is one of the world’s foremost Chinese pole artists. His acts are typified by displaying not only the strength and fearlessness that is the hallmark of all good pole acts, but also a rare grace and fluidity of movement. His proficiency at this act has taken him all over Australia and abroad, where his performances are met with universal acclaim. Capricious takes a range of both circus pole, and various dance techniques, and combines them into a seamless physical narrative. It walks a line between moments of unbelievable strength or agility, and those of great delicacy. ‘his fearlessness on a 5metre high pole will scare everyone’ – Theatre Australia
