Flyweight Chains
OK, here is me on Flyweight Chains: the aerial dance apparatus that I've spent the last 6 months developing in semi-secret.
One Sunday, around 6 months ago, I was watching happyinmotion counterweight fuvenusrs up and down, and I started wondering what would happen if an aerialist was counterweighted by their apparatus, rather than by a person. The internet didn't seem to hold any evidence of anyone doing this before, so the only way to find out was to go ahead and try!
The debut performance is in the video below. Not a great run due to some lighting issues that were beyond my control, but you get the picture.
Thanks to all who came along - it was great to see you!
And special thanks to:
Polly Lind for the costume: urbanwitchery@gmail.com, http://www.etsy.com/shop/UrbanWitchery
Patrick Herd for filming the piece: http://www.patrickherd.blogspot.com
Jez Weston for putting up with several months of a noisy apparatus in the lounge, and the same track playing over and over and over again!
Also, I might be soliciting "likes" on the video, to try to push it up the YouTube ratings ...
