Performances
Aerial Antics provides entertainment for festivals, private events, fundraisers, schools and more. Our refined and inspiring performances, mix the elegance of aerial dance with the excitement of dynamic twists and falls. We chose to call ourselves “Aerial Antics” to reflect our playful approach to choreography that incorporates elements of other performance arts. We happily tailor performances to your needs and can get you involved in the act if desired.
Demo Reel
Through collaboration with other circus arts collectives such as Dragon's Ire, MeloFranatic and A Beautiful Smack to the Head we offer a variety of crowd animation options including: fire dancing, stilt walking and, LED glowing: Butterfly Dancers, bit whips, hula hoops, poi, devil sticks and levitation wands.
Vertical Theatre
Aerial Antics supports the artistic work of Cirquonscient, a collective of circus artists who create and perform original vertical theater pieces with a desire to promote awareness of contemporary cultural and social topics interpretatively through circus and other art forms both nationally and internationally.
