To start with, these actors are well-trained in being safe with eachother’s bodies, in lifting, landing and supporting. This level of physicality does not happen spontaneously and is, whilst it is difficult to see in this slick end-result, is extremely detailed in its choreography. Please engage a professional to support the choreography of any lifting, landing or taking of weight.

You will see here, if you look closely, that the actors doing the lifting and landing are supporting of both the top half and bottom half of the other actors body. This has been designed so the actor being lifted has control of their twisted movement back down to the ground. The decision for this level of physicality came from the actors and was in their comfort zones. They felt it reflected the twisting of the narrative and text of the scene.
