Taylor Casas and Cynthia Price are just a couple of bossy flyers looking to share their creative acrobatic style with the world. Traveling throughout the United Kingdom and Europe, Taylor and Cynthia have toured their performances of Flight and Elements, two plays directed by Ezra LeBank that rely on telling a narrative based on acrobatic movements and no dialogue.  Taylor and Cynthia are now gearing up for Terms & Conditions, a comedy that will serve as an exagerrated version of their friendship and relationship as roomates.
