about the artist
Compagnie Animotion was set up in 2005 by Hayli Clifton to make work for Deaf and hearing audiences. Based in France since 2009, our shows are non-verbal, high visual and interdisciplinary ranging from mask, circus, live music to aerial dance. We have six children's shows, one street show and one aerial and circus show. We have worked with many exciting partners recently including street company Transe Express (2016 - aerial creation Vivace), Horse & Bamboo (2014- mask creation Silver Moon), Jacksons Lane (2015 - aerial show Je m'appuie sur toi).
