Fidget Feet can add an extra ingredient to any party, fes2val, club night or corporate bash to make it a huge success.
The Ar2facts are a s2lt-­‐walking procession of beauty, mystery and charm as they move amongst a crowd or parade on a stage and present a most unique three dimensional living sculpture as they hold a pose together before moving on again.
We also have world-­‐class vocalists that can sing live while flying through the air.
