Art in the Dark

2009 Details TBA

Described as “a magical experience”, Art in the Dark was created three years ago to display aerial dance in an entirely new and unique setting. Presented in exclusive settings, such as forests, bridges and warehouses, the dancers perform hanging from various apparatus attached to the trees, underside of bridges and rafters.

Each year A-WOL Dance Collective creates a new show using the setting as inspiration. Guests enjoy the artistry of multiple flavors of dance set to amazing music all under the stars of a summer eve. Aerial flight, hip hop, modern dance, trampoline, harness and jazz are just a few examples of what you might experience at an Art in the Dark Show.

Art in the Dark creates community and brings art to a setting that reaches all types of audience, much beyond just the dance-lovers. Every year Art in the Dark is attended by people of all ages and interests. As art can sometimes be difficult to integrate into the mainstream, Art in the Dark has surpassed the boundaries and attracted children and adults from all walks of life.

2008 Art in the Dark IV: UNRAVELED
Set in the fashion of a live documentary, A-WOL is revealed! This year’s Art in the Dark show gives the audience a “behind the scenes” feel as the company exposes all aspects of the show including the warm-up and set-up, the rigging (ladders and all!) and set changes. This is A-WOL unplugged, allowing the audience to experience the raw version of an aerial performance.
