Acrobats and dancers alike use ribbons, scarves, ties and trapezes in a variety of circus and performance art routines. Depending on region, the movement known as often as aerial silk can include use of different equipment which resembles flight. Colorful ribbons, ties and other fabrics are used as if each were a trapeze.
Acrobats, dancers and performance artists entertain audiences with a variety of movement routines and skills. While the trapeze allowed for great entertainment, aerial artists and audiences alike have now become intrigued with the flexibility of movement allowed by different types of colorful fabric.
As the fabric can be more difficult to grip than a trapeze, it is important to avoid slippage. Most performers prefer to use dry spray powder or resin. The type of equipment necessary for a routine may result in having to change the method of protection against slippage.
Another reason for using a protection against slippage is that the performers often have to climb to the top of the equipment before the beginning of each show. Without the use of dry spray powder or resin, it is more likely the artist will develop calluses. As there is a great deal of grabbing and swinging, the resin or powder is recommended even when gloves are being worn.
Creating a sky gym in the home can also be a great experience. A home gym is a great tool, whether looking to compete, perform, rehearse, or just want to do aerial movement as hobby. As a home gym removes the drive time from home to gym, many individuals whom work with equipment related to flight are now becoming more intrigued by these home based gyms.
A home gym allows individuals the ability to work out on a more convenient schedule. Whereas, having to drive back and forth from a gym can often take time away from family and fun. Others may want to consider hosting others over to use a home sky gym. Additional uses include a fun place to host a healthy slumber party, or weekly exercise group.
It is important that when hanging any fabrics in which individuals are going to actively use in a performance, that each fabric be attached securely to a base whether that is on hooks bolted to a wall or floor, or suspended from the ceiling or upper levels of the performance arena. Height and weight are also important factors in knowing how and where to place bolts, hooks, or other methods to secure any and all equipment.
While there is a level of risk with any aerial art form or routine, those flying on ribbons, scarves and ties tend to gain a great deal of excitement from doing so. This is because often the fabric appears as wings and carries the individual high above an auditorium or studio. Those still performing and having performed these skills in the past often say that flying on fabric is as close to flying with wings as one is going to get.
