“Ihad the pleasure last night of being invited to watch a very good friend perform in an Aerial Performance in Castle Rock. I know, a touring metal musician like myself attending a cultured event like Aerial Gymnastics may be perplexing, but truth be told, there were many similarities between watching these artists performing, and watching an accomplished mu- sician in the moment. I thoroughly enjoyed myself, appreciating the artistry and creativity expressed; however, I was overwhelmed at the sheer discipline, agility, grace and uidity the performers exhibited. The strength required to balance on a hoop, silk or trapeze was the most breathtaking part, but my reconstructed shoulder literally got sympathy pains and I grabbed it at one point. Let it never stop being a privilege to watch people who absolutely dominate their eld of passion, utilizing and sharing their gifts (and let me tell ya, these gals were de nitely sharing gifts with those there to be entertained). Many of the performers were serious gymnasts. I feel richer for having taken the opportunity to watch the show. Well done, I really appreciated the evening!”
