Grey Area

Grey Area is a roaming street performance blending juggling, parkour, and clowning to reimagine overlooked public spaces. Created through a neurodivergent lens, it playfully interacts with urban architecture, inviting passersby to pause and see differently. Low-tech and spontaneous, it needs no stage, just open space and curiosity. Part walkabout, part gentle intervention, Grey Area transforms the in-between areas of a festival into moments of movement, connection, and unexpected colour.
