Dragonfly Aerials - About Our Talents

admin — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 20:43:53 +0000

Dragonfly Aerials offers different apparatus to suit any performance. We can rig to weight-bearing beams or structures, or bring one of our own portable rigging structures that we have set up in ballrooms, backyards, parks, parking lots, and even a pool. Please contact us for more information!

Aerial Silk

“Silks” are long pieces of fabric suspended from the ceiling. Available in just about every color of the rainbow, silks performances can be graceful and strong, or totally silly! We perform solo or duo routines lasting from 60 seconds to 8 minutes. Rigging for silks requires a height of at least 15 feet and not more than 35 feet and a clear area of about 8′ diameter on the floor.

Aerial Hoop

“Lyra”, also known as Aerial Hoop or Cerceau, is a spinning metal ring that perfectly frames the performer. Twisting into interesting shapes and poses, one or two dancers can be ‘flown’ over an audience’s head and is perfect for ambient entertainment. Performances last from 60 seconds to 15 minutes. Rigging requires a ceiling height of 10-20 feet.

Hammock

“Hammock” is a loop of fabric that the performer plays inside and outside of for a wonderful effect. Lights can be projected onto the hammock to enhance the shadowy human form inside. The tricks and poses of a hammock can be sexy, playful, or add a strange element to the atmosphere. Hammock is performed solo, duo, or trio, from 8-20 feet.

“Static trapeze” is a bar suspended by two ropes. The ropes allow wonderful opportunities for displays of fluid strength and creativity. Solo or duo performances, two rigging points are necessary for this apparatus.

Stiltwalkers

“Stiltwalkers” - all of the Dragonflies are very experienced on stilts. 7 to 8-foot performers love to interact with crowds, serve as ushers for an event or hand out promotional materials. Costume possibilities are endless and we are happy to create something special for your event.

Dragonfly Aerials performed at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno for their New Year’s Eve celebration. Partygoers were fascinated by the silvery performers perched on hoops and hidden in folds of fabric. We customized costumes for this fun performance. We loved interacting with the up-close crowd.

Dragonfly Aerials is a Reno-based troupe of aerial performers. We come from a diverse background of stage, dance, yoga and other physical arts and have found our heart’s desire in flight. High above the audience, our dancers spin, pose, dance and create among silken ribbons and shining hoops. Check out our pages here for more information on classes that we teach, upcoming performances, and how to get the Dragonflies to your event.
