Time to sweat out the sadness. After a successful debut at The Edinburgh Fringe 2023 and a run at The Baxter Studio in Cape Town 2025, writer and performer Jamie-Lee Money and director Larica Schnell are coming to CPT with Spin Cycles.
Performed predominantly on and with a spinning bike, Spin Cycles explores the processing and suppression of grief through the strange cult-like world of spin classes.
Spin Cycles gives a cathartic look into why we search for something deeper when the inconceivable happens to us. After an earth-shattering year, can she spin herself out of a slump? She’s not in a cult ... yet? Is she? Spin Cycles is a one person show about spinning, grief, love, healing and everything in between.
Written and performed by Jamie-Lee Money

Tobi King Bakare and this theatre deserve a shout-out for such a young, diverse audience. There is so much talk about audiences being full of over 60s and why, why can’t theatres get the crowds in to reflect society in general? Well, I’m happy to say that on a rainy Thursday evening, the theatre was completely full.
