The Wishbone

The Wishbone

Untitled document

A costumed aerialist harnessed into The Wishbone frame is counterbalanced into a state of perfect equilibrium. Subtle shifts of body weight over three rotational axes control speed and direction and allow her to move to any position, moving from graceful swoops and arcs to dynamic flips and spins.  The installation is paged into position from the ground or platform to any height; the performance is choreographed to music and lasts between five and fifteen minutes. With careful use of lighting The Wishbone frame disappears. Pyrotechnic effects concealed on the other end of the frame create a spectacular finale.

Counterbalanced into a state of perfect equilibrium, an aerialist can shift her body weight over three different axes to find new forms of movement within a three meter circle, indoors or out.

The Wishbone is a counterbalanced aerial installation, whose rotations within a 3-metre circuler plane are contolled by the body position of the performer.  It can be rigged simply, indoors or outdoors.  This is an aerial dance piece, choreographed to our original music, lasting approximately 10 - 15 minutes.  (We can incorporate a longer performance if required).
