For the second year, we took our portable rig to the Colorado Regional
Burning Man event: Apogaea. Thanks to the art grant we received and all the
hard work of everyone in the High Flying Society, otherwise known as the
aerial camp, our camp was a high flying success! This year we offered a show
featuring aerial hoop, aerial silks, duo silks, contact juggling, swing
dancing, and bungee trapeze. We also offered workshops and generally had a
great time!
July 2011
Our first student show at the Oriental Theater was super! Congratulations to
the students and teachers who performed and special thanks to Brett Rayer
for being our DJ! In July we took a new style of portable rigging to the
Crestone Emerging Arts Festival where Lauraleigh and Lynn performed. Emily
and Liz performed on this new rig in Fort Collins at the Campus Crusade for
Christ.

In preparation for the second Aerial Acrobatic Arts Festival, Lynn visited
many of the aerialists who came to the Festival from Northern California.

Arts, and with TrapezePro. Her trip included a visit to AirAligned in Nevada
City and classes at Kinetic Arts and Athletic Playground in Oakland.
