Zero Gravity

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Parabolic flights, in which a plane breaks free of the earth's gravitational pull are used for training cosmonauts before they go into space. Emma Jane Kirby travels to Star City in Moscow with a group called Arts Catalyst, which is sending dancers, acrobats and film-makers to explore the creative potential of weightlessness. As she takes her first step into zero gravity she discovers the intense emotions released through this extreme physical experience.
