"The Wheel House" is a performance piece that uses a circus wheel, fashioned into a home, which two performers (drifters) maneuver through and around while the audience views and, at some performances, travels alongside.

The wheel itself is made up to resemble a home with doors and windows, pots and pans, and even curtains, while the drifters perform aerial feats and breathtaking acrobatic tricks. The interactive performance has traveled to several countries and been viewed by thousands around the world.

The 25-minute piece was selected as one of the United Kingdom shows in the renowned "Piccadilly Circus Circus," as part of the 2012 Cultural Olympiad. The troupe performing the piece Acrojou was established by main performers Jeni Barnard and Barney White, and has created and performed several pieces using the circus wheel.
