“At Last” – A passionate and graceful spinning trapeze piece, set to the traditional love song “at last”. A classic act, stylish and elegant, complete with vintage costume and an (optional) burlesque element. VIDEO

“A Necessary End” – A more contemporary dance trapeze piece, tranquil and stunning.  There is a time to move forward, and a time to let go.  Spinning and weaving a way through the ropes, she dances with the trapeze one last time. A beautiful piece that embodies the difficult process of saying goodbye.

“Sepiascape - Always”: Solo - A more high-energy trapeze piece set in 1930s dust-bowl depression-era. In a tone of sepia, a woman fights with her own desires to give up, and in the end, decides to save herself. She triumphs in a dazzling display of aerial work, as she pulls herself up out of the challenges life has brought.

“Sepiascape – At the end of the day”: Duet - Two women, separate in their struggles, dance on different trapezes. One woman will swing and twist against her ropes, as she winds her body around in a hypnotic fashion. The other spins around in a slow and beautiful circle, on another trapeze. They meet, and link their dances together, completing a dazzling array of duo trapeze tricks on one spinning, swinging trapeze. VIDEO

“Dis Ease”

A contemporary dance trapeze piece that connects floor work with airborne tricks. Set to Aphex Twin's melodic and haunting "At the Heart of It All". On the spinning trapeze, a body is conflicted from within. She dances on the floor, pulled in separate directions. Infected with self-sabotage, and separating from reality. Winding up in the ropes of the trapeze, she wriggles her way to a conclusion. VIDEO
