Silks

What Is Aerial Silks?

Aerial silks, also known as aerial fabric or tissu, is a type of aerial performance in which an artist performs acrobatics while suspended from a special fabric. The fabric is typically two long strips that allow the performer to climb, wrap, swing, and drop, creating breathtaking and fluid movements.

The performance involves a combination of strength, flexibility, and grace, as performers execute a variety of poses, drops, and wraps. Aerial silks can be quite dynamic, with performers often incorporating elements of dance and gymnastics to enhance their routines.
