Pull Yourself Up By Your Bootystraps
An aerial dance straps routine, this project explores the concepts of physical solitary confinement and mental resilience. An accompanying burlesque-inspired audio track will add a playful tone to support the physical performance and nod to the title. Black lighting and UV material will be used to offer the audience a peep of visibility within the peepshow booth and to highlight visual shapes, lines and ideas. The Peepshow would be the official debut for this project.
