The Aerial Kite and it's original technique was designed by Chelsea in 2004, while at the National Circus School in Canada. It is now used by artists around the globe.

The Aerial Kite is a diamond shape apparatus with tissu attached to the bottom (ie. Kite flying).  The top of the diamond is rigid bars and the bottom is a cloud swing type cord allowing for additional movement. There are optional hooks on the sides of the bars that serve for looping the tissues.  The wonderful thing about the Kite is that  you can prepare your drops hanging comfortably.  It also allows for more free fall than traditional tissu.  It combines principles of tissu, hoop, and cloud swing, yet has an entire vocabulary of its own.Chelsea would like for students and performers to take pleasure in this unique discipline, which has brought her so much joy.
