The technique of aerial silksThe Sky as a Playground: Aerial Fabric, Hoop, and Trapeze

What is aerial silk? It is simply a fairly large piece of fabric folded in half. It is arranged to form two panels suspended from a single attachment point. It is an interesting prop for the acrobat, who will primarily use it to perform artistic movements. The goal of the act consists of performing the following movement: the acrobat, suspended in the air, wraps and moves within the expanse of the fabric. In this way, they perform drops and acrobatic figures.

The conditions in which the acrobat is suspended in the air are unique. They are truly at a height since aerial silks are located approximately 5 to even 10 meters high. They are visual and harmonious. They allow acrobats to perform their feats with artistry. They have the possibility to practice solo or in duo. Large rotations can be performed in this type of discipline. It is, moreover, primarily practiced in the circus world.

Would you like to attend such a performance? Eklabul offers experienced artists. The agency also assists in the installation of attachment points according to standards. Performances are carried out in good conditions and can therefore be performed in various event venues. So, don’t hesitate any longer, contact Eklabul to participate in an acrobatic activity of this type!

Acrobats and the aerial hoop

While Eklabul presents a variety of aerial shows, here is one that could delight many! The aerial hoop is a practice performed in two ways. The technique is indeed performed in the air using a suspended hoop. Two methods exist: classic mode and dance hoop mode. In the first technique, the hoop is positioned at a height of about 3m from the ground. As for the dance hoop, the height of the hoop will vary during the performance carried out by the acrobat(s). They may perform, for example, floor work, followed by rotation and then work in the air. In this case, a winch or a system of ropes/pulleys will be useful to modify the height of the hoop.

The aerial hoop is seen as a show of true elegance. Playing this artistic game several meters above the ground, the aerial hoop is also a technique very much used by women to perform acrobatics. It is also known as “lyra” and provides a pleasant show using true aesthetics in movement. The professionals performing this technique can use hoops of different sizes. They perform dance movements that highlight their flexibility.

Another act offered by the artists: the trapeze act. This can be performed in different ways. Firstly, the artist may perform several figures at a high altitude. This can be very artistic when the act is well executed! In this case, we speak of a fixed trapeze. Secondly, the dance trapeze is a technique in which the artist evolves by performing rotations. Finally, the duo trapeze is performed by two acrobats, featuring a flyer and a catcher. The goal is to perform, in addition to acrobatic figures, flight sequences and releases.

The list of techniques does not end here, as there is also the flying trapeze, the swinging trapeze, and other figures.

If you wish to discover more, there is also the aerial cube.
