San Francisco Aerial Arts Festival on August 19, 2016 in San Francisco, CA : San Francisco Aerial Arts Festival
An explosion of creativity has reinvented aerial performance. A new generation of artists bursting with innovative imagination and extraordinary skills have given birth to one of the most incredible and visceral art forms of the 21st century.
Artists from a broad spectrum of backgrounds are re-imagining, re-shaping and re-inventing what has traditionally been the province of circus alone. A breathtaking array of new performers with influences that range from Balanchine to Burning Man are stunning audiences around the world. We aim to bring that explosive energy together in a sensational festival unlike any other.
Zaccho Dance Theatre and Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture present the biennial San Francisco Aerial Arts Festival, the premiere event for aerial arts in the San Francisco Bay Area. This dynamic, three-day indoor and outdoor event brings together innovative spectacle, daring athleticism, aerial dance, and circus performances.
