I'm doing something I've never done before. I'm hanging upside down in a circus hoop suspended from the beams of a redundant church in Sheffield. I'm not very far from the floor, but the way I feel I may as well be. What am I scared of? Fear just is. It's there in the muscle memory... Now, knees gripping the metal hoop I let go with my hands and see the world upside down. Upside Down in a Hoop is memoir about loss and letting go. What is it that keeps us going through the tough times? The joy of dancing as a child? The adventures we dare to take as adults? Through fear and holding on, to freedom. Tricia Durdey trained as a dancer and choreographer in London and Amsterdam in the late 1970s, and worked for many years as choreographer and dancer. Ten years ago she made the decision to concentrate on writing, and has since had short fiction published by Cinnamon Press, Chester University Press, Myslexia, and Matter (Sheffield Hallam University). Her first novel, The Green Table, was published by Cinnamon Press in 2015, and its sequel, The Dancer at World's End, in 2021. She lives in Derbyshire and earns a living by teaching Pilates and ballet.
