Skyline Cirque:
Beginning their collaboration with an acrobatic guerrilla street performance at the Lower East Side Amphitheater in 2007, the Ben and Katie, of Skyline Cirque, has most recently taken to the air. With choreographic innovation they infuse their aerial duets with a strongly visceral performance style. The duo emphasizes the inherent dangerous beauty of silks to achieve acts that transcend the circus and achieve a vibrant theatricality.
