Description

Time to sweat out the sadness: Spin Cycles gives a cathartic look into why we search for something deeper when the inconceivable happens to us. After an earth-shattering year, can she spin herself out of a slump? What is it about cult exercise studios that give us a feeling of purpose and the sense that everything that was once upside down can be turned the right way up? She's not in a cult... yet? Is she? Spin Cycles is a one person show about spinning, grief and everything in between. But mostly spinning, and grief.

An amazing one-woman show - unique concept and executed really well. Loved the writing and performance from Jamie. Very funny but touches on serious topics too. Would definitely recommend!

“Death is black and white and Grief is the grey bit in the middle”. This vibrant newcomer, in her Fringe debut, bounces between a witty, cerise outlook on life, navigating pain and of course the cult of spin class. A must see.

I thoroughly recommend Spin Cycles, so wonderfully performed by Jamie-Lee on a spin bike. A uniquely brilliant - and funny - way to explore the feelings and realities of grief.

From the minute we walked in to find Jamie-Lee already spinning on her bike she had the audience in the palm of her hand. Laugh out loud funny as well as blink the tears fast away emotional. She transported us from a spinning studio, to the Barbican, to her 21st birthday and more seamlessly. Highly recommended watch!
