Aerial Hammock is used similarly to Aerial Silks, except it’s a loop of fabric rather than a length hanging from the ceiling. Aerial silk is a type of performance in which one or more artists perform aerial acrobatics while hanging from a special fabric. Performers use the fabric to wrap, suspend, fall, swing, and spiral their bodies into and out of various positions. Aerial silks may be used to fly through the air, striking poses and figures while flying.
