Aerial Arts excites and inspires audiences of all ages with their creative and
breathtaking presentation of the changes that occur in everyday life, as well
as in your fantasies.
"This
show was inspired by the topics facing our society, and our way of perceiving
these issues. We have to adapt to survive, as do all living creatures. We
wanted to celebrate change, applaud acceptance and pay homage to those around
us that have the courage to embrace the need for change. Becoming is a beautiful
show in not just the artistic and mesmerizing optics, but also in the message
it conveys." stated Christine Aiken, Artistic Director.
Audiences
will be captivated by these expert athletes and artists defying gravity. While
risking life and limb, this accomplished troupe brings delight to the young and
young at heart alike with classic circus arts and brilliant, innovative new
acts.
"It
is a show that speaks to the very nature of all of our lives, and the creatures
that inhabit Mother Earth. Watching the baby birds nest on my porch this
spring, then change and become airborne, inspired me to welcome the challenges
and changes I was experiencing. I work with an aerialist that is currently in
transition and she inspired me to learn more about not only the physical and
emotional aspects of her change, but how as a director I am able to best
support her,” said Aiken. “2016 has been a year of transformation and rebirth
for so many of us, and I want our audience to feel inspired and uplifted by
these spellbinding artists and their enthralling portrayal of the changes we
all must face."
