Fly-by-Night will present I Can't Not. This work for three women on single-point trapeze takes the dancers' irresistible impulses from floor to ceiling in unexpected moves.

Sara Joel will premiere Surface performing in, on, and around a transparent Plexiglas sphere. The work captures Ms. Joel mid-pregnancy with the apparatus symbolizing her womb with the movement capturing the essence of the life within her.

Heather Hammond / Helium Aerial Dance will perform Soon September, a 2-point circus trapeze solo that takes modern dance gestures into the air and upside down in one woman's journey through her day.

Kristin GenEve Young experiments with speed, strength, and momentum on the corde lisse in three times. Sudden drops and vertical hangs bring an intensive edge to this sparse work.

MOTH Aerial Dance / Deena Frank and Aimee Hancock will present De Anima, a sexy, haunting, and otherwise enchanting trapeze duet inspired by stories of the soul in departure.

Nathan Dryden will be featured in Reach a trapeze-dance solo that explores the motivations within this universal gesture.

Anna Vigeland will create a world of mixed emotion on the cloudswing as her inner musings are portrayed through turns, drops, and spins.

As MC of The 2009 NYC Aerial Dance Festival, troubadour Josh Diamond will inform & engage the audience with his infectious energy, original stage antics and humorous songs

The NYC Aerial Dance Festival is made possible in part with public funds from the Manhattan Community Arts Fund, supported by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and administered by the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council.
