Through the show, you will see a variety of skills and arts disciplines. This style of performance is known as “Variety Arts” because it combines elements of many different art forms and skills. The title “Playing By Air” is a pun based on the musical concept of “Playing By Ear” (which refers to improvising or playing without sheet music).  The name highlights the elements of the show: fun, humor, music, creativity, improvisation, and filling the air with flying objects.

Several unusual musical instruments are used in this show to play notes and create rhythms. Playing By Air’s performers even play songs while juggling and balancing at the same time!
