SWAY is a Melbourne-based performing arts company that designs, produces, and performs large-scale performances and site-specific installations fusing theater, dance, and circus using a unique combination of sway- pole apparatus and bespoke performance equipment. The company engages and collaborates with a diverse range of creatives, multi-disciplinary performers, and specialist production teams to create and perform accessible, highly visible performances in broad contexts across the world. SWAY formed as a business partnership between Phillip Gleeson, (Creative Director of Strange Fruit for 12 years and independent maker) and Emily Ryan (Associate Director and performer at Strange Fruit for 16 years, independent circus maker and artist) in January 2021. While SWAY’s operative history is young, it brings with it a wealth of accumulated expertise and design knowledge to underpin its creative and production capacity. To- date, SWAY has created new performance work for: The Victorian Opera’s The Ring Cycle (AUS); Rainbow Family Cabaret, produced by Circus Oz and the Arts Centre Australia; Bloom! for Dollywood’s 2022 Flower & Food Festival (US); and Kabloom in Monbulk, Victoria (AUS).
