Norman is off on a day out – and we are all invited as a show shortlisted for ‘Most Outstanding Dance Work’ at Brighton Fringe 2025 returns to the festival this year.
As Norman explores his peculiar new home, everyday tasks spiral into unexpected adventures. From morning exercise to lounging in his favourite chair, from encounters with local wildlife to weatherproofing his walls, the mundane becomes magnificent. Through a playful blend of balance, juggling, and acrobatics, ordinary tasks are transformed into thrilling circus feats.
The event is taking place at Klub Kaput Caravanserai, one of this year’s most energised Fringe venues, where a huge array of shows will take their turn. This year’s show promises even more tricks, even more joy and even more laughs.
The show is performed by Adam Havsky, a London-based professional acrobat and circus artist. He is a graduate of the National Centre for Circus Arts, specialising in Aerial Straps and Acrobatics. His work is based in creating down to earth characters that make people laugh. He aspires to create pieces in which audiences feel like active participants in the performance. Adam is also a musician and visual artist, integrating these skill sets into all of his performance work.
Adam says, “So often when performing, there is just so much ‘performance’ that goes into it. Circus is hard, and I was tired of pretending that I could always do all the tricks effortlessly. This show is about breaking that façade and laying out the effort that goes into my craft. Performing the effort with ease and grace. Showing that I’m just a regular guy doing extraordinary things.”
If you want to join Norman on his travels, you need to be ready for some surprises.
