Do you have an off the wall idea and need help to make it happen?

Scarabeus bring over 30 years of experience and knowledge, which have given them a deep and intuitive understanding of performance. They have worked with different companies and a wide variety of projects. They provide bespoke rigging solutions, ability to create and provide acts, and support as choreographer or movement director.
