‘Ephemera’ is a captivating, enthralling evening of aerial dance, acrobatics, modern dance, martial arts, and flow arts, unfolding on and high above the stage at Old Town Center for the Arts in Cottonwood, Arizona on Friday and Saturday evening, November 11th & 12th, at 7:00 PM. This multi-media event will be a stunning array of aerial arts, colorful lighting, evocative music and sound.
‘Ephemera’ is created by Hydrangea Sky Movement Arts, a company of diverse artists in Northern Arizona, performing high-flying stunts on aerial silks, corde lisse (rope), trapeze, lyra, aerial chains, sling, and straps; transitioning into the grounded movement arts of Kung Fu, Tai-Chi, modern dance, acrobatics, and Poi spinning.
Exploring the space from floor to air, through dynamic movement, each act is woven into a cohesive storyline that summons ethereal elements - the intangible and the profound - that connect us all. ‘Ephemera’ explores the dichotomy of time and memory being at once fleeting and eternal; juxtaposing the graceful and the primal, the groundedness on earth and the limitlessness of atmospheric space.
