A multimedia video merging climbing and aerial dancing. It also tells the story of the collaboration needed to make aerial dancing on the backside of the Maiden possible. All illustrations available here: blownminds.blogspot.com |

SOOO.... I guess I never realized the woman that did this were not tied in in some fashion. I just gained a shit ton of admiration for this art form and the performers.... Respect. |

Amazing movie! TFPU |
|
BRAVO! |
|
@Greg: Eh, too late :P |
|
That was awesome! I would like to send huge kudos for the Boldness required to pull this off! |
|
Wholly crap! |
|
Not really dance, more of an acrobatic spectacle. So guys here appreciate videos of half naked women doing splits, surprising. |
|
Cool project |

I'm pretty sure I saw that woman in a performance at the Dairy Center for the Arts a couple of winters ago. The performance was called the Ratcracker, and showed amazing athleticism and artistry I had never before witnessed, except while watching Olympic-level gymnastics. Watching performers ascent the fabric doing multiple one-armed pull ups, I couldn't help but think that they would all be outstanding rock climbers. The fabric that was used in that show was certainly not bed sheets, and my entire family watched the performance spellbound. |

Holy Moly! |

Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for posting. |
|
That girl is amazing, and ballsy...she could definitely rip some seriously hard climbing if she tried...thanks! |
|
Very cool! I caught one of those shows at the Dairy center, too. |

Ashley used to perform with Frequent Flyers Productions out of Boulder, and then got hired down at Iluminar Aerial in Broomfield. |
