aerial performances

 

Dante Ingram performs dream-like aerial sequences both with Sideshow Villains' Deviant Cabaret and as a solo act. Her aerial choreography includes props and puppetry on silks: fans, wings, and a 5' skeleton. The acts themselves are meant to bridge the gap between conscious and unconscious and examine the grey areas of memory and identity.

This is an excerpt of "Raven" which springboards off the idea of the waiting room between the Black Lodge and the White Lodge in the series Twin Peaks. The raven is both a carrion bird (harbinger of death) and a symbol of creation and transformation. The trickster raven carries messages between the physical and metaphysical worlds.
