The Dream Engine was formed in January 1995 to create unique and unusual performance installations and spectacular aerial events.
The shows use the location, the skills of performers, music, lighting and our special ingredient: ingenious mechanisms, to create the illusion of flying, levitation and wonder.
Our performance work divides between public street arts festivals in the UK and Europe and the corporate market – parties, product launches, music concerts, expos and sporting events, right across the globe. We have performed in 65 countries, averaging 60 shows per year.
Our ideas combine Science and Art to explore new possibilities and we invent unique installations to offer performers new challenges to create magic. As a theme, our installations are made of air and gas-filled fabric, so big structures can pack up small and tour easily.
The Dream Engine HQ is based in Brighton, UK. Our shows are designed and directed by Steve Edgar with Jackie Edgar as co-Director and Company Manager.
Our core company can be expanded to include up to twenty artists and technicians, on a project-by-project basis.
We are currently touring The Heliosphere, Loveart, Octo, Arco, Diamond and Candle Shows.
