Physically exhilarating and touchingly poignant, Knot is the internationally acclaimed debut circus and dance work by Nikki & JD.

Nikki & JD use hand-to-hand circus skills to tell the tale of an impossible choice: how can we be honest with ourselves without hurting those we love? Knot is a finely crafted theatrical journey through the struggles of commitment.

Created in collaboration with award-winning choreographer Ben Duke of Lost Dog Dance Company, Knot is a very modern affair told with delicate sensitivity through breath-taking acrobatics and heart wrenching dance.

Knot and Crying Out Loud

We first toured the short version of Knot in 2016 as part of a double bill with Gasp by Circocentrique.

Nikki & JD then created a full-length version and we profiled this as part of Spotlight UK Circus in 2017. We were delighted to be able to present the work in Japan as part of the Bird Theatre Festival in 2018.

In 2024, we toured Knot as part of Circus Around & About 2 in partnership with Take Art and Diverse City.
