Repost credit: @port_and_land Online Event Wed, 3 November 2021 11:00am – 12:30pm PST 'Being Called to the Land' with Julia Taffe https://www.eventbrite.com/e/portrait-and-landscape-12-with-julia-taffe-and-diana-lopez-tickets-196132857657. Vertical dance site work offers me a pathway to thrive as an artist by deepening my connection to the lands and people. I will introduce myself and my artistic practice in relation to the unceded Indigenous lands where it has been created and performed, and I will reflect on the precepts that have emerged to guide my creative practice of vertical dance. Next, Diana Lopez Soto will introduce how she is weaving sustainable and regenerative practices into her life and practice. Expanding into the topic of rootedness in dialogue with Diana, we will reflect on what it means to return to the land. What responsibilities do we accept, in the context of decolonizing our artistic practices here in Canada and as visitors in other people’s territories around the world? @wandamoretti2020 @gravitylevity @vertical_kate @dlsdanza @aeriosadance @waicymruwales @bangor_university #danceonwalls #lookup #verticaldance #aerialdance #aerialists #aeriosa #aeriosadance #newdance #aerialarts #aerialartists #aerials #dancingintheair #internationaldancers #innovativedancers #verticaldancers #verticaldancenetwork #dancetheater #skydancers #artofmovement #dance #danceartists #contemporarydance #vancouverdancers #vancouveraerialists #vancouververticaldancers #dancersthatfly #verticaldancevancouver #dancingonwalls #buildingdancers (at Eventbrite) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVgWf7cBEQ6/?utm_medium=tumblr

Butterflies in Spirit, founded in 2012, is a dance group consisting of family members of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls (MMIWG). With a mission to raise awareness of violence against Indigenous women and girls, Butterflies in Spirit has performed at numerous gatherings and events throughout Canada, the US, and has traveled as far as Bogota, Colombia to perform at an International Women’s World Peace event. Aeriosa and Butterflies have been collaborating over the last few years and have some beautiful projects coming up on the horizon that we are very excited about!

Throwback Thursday: Vertical Dancers Forum 2018 Blank Canvas Lab Fidget Feet Artistic Director Chantal McCormick designed the Blank Canvas Lab as an opportunity for the seven Vertical Dance Forum choreographers to learn more about each other’s practice. They were mentored by director, teacher and performer Charlie Morrissey who was tasked with probing their various approaches to collaboration.   Twelve professional vertical dancers joined the VDF choreographers from across Europe and participated in a jam-packed week of creative research at three iconic locations: St John’s Castle and the Strand Hotel in the City of Limerick, as well as the stunning sea cliffs of The Burren in County Clare. Photo Note: Those tiny figures in orange on the cliff at the edge of the sea are Aeriosa's own Safety Director and Artistic Director, getting back to their rock-climbing roots in County Clare, where Julia Taffe's Irish grandmother was born!

Aeriosa is beyond excited to be back to creation and in-person rehearsals. Innovative Canadian Deaf Theatre Artist, Landon Krentz, was invited to join Aeriosa for a new creative workshop at the Vancouver Playhouse developing a brand new aerial show. The collaboration required ASL/ENG interpreters, and Aeriosa was grateful to receive support from the Inside Out Theatre Good Host Program to assist with facilitating communication between artists. Aeriosa dancers Julia Carr, Aly Fretz, Cara Siu, Meghan Goodman, and Gina Alpen joined Landon Krentz on the Playhouse stage working with Choreographer Julia Taffe, Safety Director Colin Zacharias and Site Coordinator Peter Jotkus. Aeriosa's crew continues to follow BC Provincial Health Orders and WorkSafe BC guidelines during rehearsals. The Vancouver Playhouse Theatre remains closed to the public for now, but is open to artists and staff. Thank you to Vancouver Civic Theatre Staff and Crew for supporting this productive and inspiring residency! Please Note: The otherworldly song we are working with in the video clip was generously offered to this project by the awe-inspiring Oakland-based singer, songwriter, vocal activist Melanie DeMore.

Watching Walking on the Wall, a 1971 work by choreographer Trisha Brown (1936-2017). March 8 is International Women's Day. We celebrate all the achievements of all women across the world and the contributions made to social, economic, cultural and political advancements. We dedicate this post to Trisha Brown, one of the first choreographers to utilize what we now think of as aerial dance. She called her dances (1968–1971) "equipment pieces". https://trishabrowncompany.org #trishabrowndance #trishabrown #trishabrowncompany #verticaldance #verticaldancing #verticaldancepioneers #contemporarydance #visionaryartist #aerialdance #aerialists #aeriosa #aeriosadance #newdance #aerialarts #aerialartists #aerials #dancingintheair #innovativedancers #verticaldancenetwork #dancetheater #skydancers #artofmovement #dance #danceartists #contemporarydance #dancersthatfly #dancingonwalls #buildingdancers (at Trisha Brown Dance Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMKydWYhhtl/?igshid=dk1izf4q2fni
