Flying Like A Eagle On An Aerial Silk

By Sherry Gross


There is nothing quite like catching the soar of an eagle. This is also the case when it comes to seeing an aerial silk performance for the first time. Seeing colorful silk scarves carry performers high above an audience with confidence.

Using aerial routines in circuses has been going on for quite some time. Often known as the "flying trapeze, " it is believed this is the first flying contraption used for aerial entertainment. Safety measures have become more stealth over the years so now the management and production crew are often responsible for creating a safe and sane environment during performances.

As an added layer of protection from slippage, performers often use dry spray powder or resin to increase hold between performer and equipment. Equipment can refer to ribbons, silk, ties or other objects on, or from where one flies through air. While most artists use gloves, it is important to assure that there is a strong grip between glove and equipment either with or without the use of spray powder or resin.

Another reason for using a protection against slippage is that the performers often have to climb to the top of the equipment before the beginning of each show. Without the use of dry spray powder or resin, it is more likely the artist will develop calluses. As there is a great deal of grabbing and swinging, the resin or powder is recommended even when gloves are being worn.

For those simply wanting to dance or play with aerial scarves and other equipment, creating a home sky gym is one way to go. Each gym has different hooks on walls and ceilings from which different flying equipment can be installed. It is important to assure the ceiling and walls have the strength to hold the equipment and any individuals who plan on using same.

When a performer feels free to explore any and all movements as part of the development process, the freedom can often inspire artists to create more interesting arrangements. Whether acrobat, choreographer, dancer, or just someone wanting to have an incredible amount of fun, dreams about flying through the air have always been popular. As swinging has always been one of the closest feelings to flight, it is no doubt individuals whom enjoy the feeling will also enjoy this type of equipment and routines.

The danger factor associated with aerial routines has existed since the creation of the first routine. There are now better ways to keep performers safe than in times passed as stronger tools have been developed over the years. It is important to obtain height, weight and dimensions when building or purchasing flight equipment to be used in the home gym to assure there is ample space for both safety and ease of movement.

Most movement enthusiasts are going to love aerial movement. As fabric can be hung at many different levels, it is also an art form that can be used to help individuals overcome fear of flight and height. This is because if the individual can sit low to the ground and swing back and forth gently, then slowly kick out and go higher a bit at a time, it is believed possible to overcome both phobias.
