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 post-production 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 purpose-built aerial spiral, for inspiring us all. And finally, thank you to my Patrons - this work exists largely for and because of you. X
