Aerial Silks is a performance art that combines disciplined movement and physical strength. I’ve studied and trained for several years, and despite encountering several physical obstacles, I have continued to persevere and grow as a performer. In order to climb, wrap, and drop both artistically and safely, I have to not only be strong enough to sustain my entire body weight on my wrists, but I also have to make it look easy and seamless to an audience.
