In this episode of Aerial Evolution, Rowan and Jane have a conversation with Chantal McCormick, founder of the Irish Aerial Dance Festival and Fidget Feet Aerial Dance Theatre. Though the discussion Chantal reveals how studying contact dance was a perfect launchpad into the aerial world, as well as the beginnings of Aerial Festivals in Europe, and government funding for the arts. This pivotal discussion on the early roots of aerial dance and the distinction between traditional and contemporary circus is not to be missed by any aerialists looking to be inspired (possibly enough to head to Ireland one summer)!
