There is, however, an opposing argument regarding the founder of Aerial Silk. In 2002, Acrobat Productions organized the choreographies of BBC TV Aerial Silks Ident, which had been a popular television show for over 5 years. Soon after, aerial silk quickly caught on in the rest of the world. In the mid-90s, a team of British and French acrobats, who were influenced by Isabelle Vaudelle and her tutor, Gerard Fasoli, got interested in the art of this spectacular attraction. It is worth mentioning that Isabelle Vaudelle also took part in Mondial du Cirque de Demain in 1995 and presented an absolutely impressive act. It was in 1998 when the two artists presented their Aerial Silks moves during a performance called Quidam, as part of Cirque du Soleil show. In this way, Aerial Silks became what it is today.ĭespite older experiments, the art of Aerial Silks became widely known by Isabelle Vaudelle and Isabelle Chasse. Interesting enough, during this period, the fabric which was coming out of the knot which supported it gave way to the second piece of fabric. Nonetheless, from 1959 until 1998 (when Aerial Silks was officially recognized) a lot of artists had been experimenting with aerial silk in their performances. Unfortunately, little is known about this performance except for one small account in a local newspaper. One student presented her act by using a long piece of fabric. Their origins are found around 1959, in a French circus school where some trainees were asked to make a difference by presenting an acrobatic act. Aerial Silks or Aerial Tissues constitute the newest category of Aerial Acrobatics.
