Aerial Spiral Solo: I Dance to Become Enormous

Choreographed and performed by Jenny Tufts (circlecirque) in the training room between shows while on the cast of Le Roi Lion et les Rythmes de la Terre in Paris, 2023. Videography and postproduction by Alex Sterling (thyartiscirque) thank you for the moral support during the shortest filming window ever, and your relentless commitment to a clean background. Many thanks to Kalandra (kalandramusic ) whose cover of Helvegen inspired so much of my movement this year, and was the perfect choice for this piece. Title borrowed from Aleah Black (gendersauce), whose words regularly speak to my soul, and, or make me chuckle. Thank you to Fidget Feet Aerial Dance Theatre, Dr. Jennifer DeBrún, and Aisling Ní Cheallaigh, all of whom have left many fingerprints on my spiral style and to Tanya Brno, inventor of the first purposebuilt aerial spiral, for inspiring us all. And finally, thank you to my Patrons this work exists largely for and because of you. X
