About us
Orange Skies is an acclaimed theatre and circus company led by Artistic Director Daisy Minto. We create performance and arts experiences, to touch hearts and entertain. Our practice is interdisciplinary & collaborative; drawing predominately on theatre, circus arts, cabaret, dance and installation. Liveness and congregation are structural and essential in all our work.
We occupy a unique position as a theatre company using circus arts as an integrated form for storytelling, blending text and story with high level circus arts and theatrical dramaturgy. We approach our creation practice with curiosity, collaboration and a spirit of innovation.
Our work has toured nationally and has been programmed at venues such as Norwich Theatre, Jacksons Lane, Royal and Derngate, Exeter Phoenix, Camden People’s Theatre, Assembly Edinburgh.
Our work has been shortlisted for the Pleasance Charlie Hartill Award 2023, Untapped Award 2022 and Les Enfants Terribles Award 2018, described by critics as ‘the play Britain needs right now’ (Mumble for In Addition 2019) and ‘brilliantly-written, cathartic and genuinely novel’ (FringeReview for Wild Onion 2022).
We are supported artists of Norwich Theatre and Jacksons Lane.
