Cartwheels are a collection of characters mounted on rotating shafts. As they turn they appear like circus acrobatic clowns performing for an audience.

Susan has also designed another performance piece called Nervous People which are characters on radio controlled platforms that move around stage briefly and then "spaz out".

These pieces are some of a series of theatrical robots and performance art being designed for an upcoming stage performance. Brooks Coleman is directing the robot theatre movement.
