Rehearsal facilities are provided at Payne Whitney Gymnasium, Studio D, and include Aerial Silks, Lyra, and Static trapeze. Graduate students, however, are encouraged to apply and will be accommodated as resources allow. Undergraduate students are given priority. In addition, all Yale School of Drama student productions are expected to comply with this policy, as well as any students from any o ther Yale graduate school who wish to access the rehearsal or performance equipment provided through the Yale College Aerial Acrobatics program. ScopeĪll undergraduate aerial acrobatics activities fall under this policy. Contact your UP advisor at least six weeks in advance if you are planning on any of these activities in your performance. Related activities include swingsets, rope swings, and other non-acrobatic performances on suspended apparatuses. Aerial Acrobatics are differentiated from Performer Flying in that the latter makes use of harnesses to keep the performer safe, whereas aerial acrobatics relies upon the performer’s strength and skill. Examples include Aerial Silks, Static Trapeze, Lyra, Corde Lisse, Aerial Hammock, Circus Pole, etc.
Aerial Acrobatics includes any type of acrobatic performance that takes place on a suspended apparatus.
