January is flying by, and our creativity is blooming as we actively gather making the world we want to live in over here at A3! This is just a quick note for you to save some dates to be welcomed, as you are, and be entertained and enthralled!
Spring Break Camp is open for registration. It is going to be fabulous!
Our dear friends and teachers Erin Ball and Maxime Beauregard are traveling through and performing for One Night Only, Saturday February 15! Join us at Ashland Aerial Arts for this family friendly, Disabilty-led queer love story on the ground and in the air.
At the end of the month, the teens in the Performance Company will share their spectacular Cinderville Circus. A hilarious concoction of aerial arts, partner acrobatics and ridiculousness!

Image: Onstage with low lighting, two white Disabled performers are in the air, on a suspended aerial hoop the size of an adult hula hoop, roughly a standing human height above the floor. Inside the hoop, Maxime sits side-profile one leg up, leaning back into the curve of the hoop. Their arms hang straight down and holding onto them is Erin, a double below knee amputee. Erin is suspended, wearing no prosthetic legs, back arched like a crescent moon, and legs split apart. The two artists are smiling happily, celebrating their Love.
