A-WOL Professional Company
A-WOL was created in 2003 as a professional aerial dance company and collective. Melding the worlds of dance and aerial, the four co-founders’ vision was one of cooperation: to combine their complimentary strengths both on and off stage to liberate audiences from traditional ideas of dance. Whether suspended in the forest or dancing on the sides of buildings, our dancers’ deft fearlessness and artistry excites wonder in audiences of all ages. The company’s signature event, Art in the Dark, has been held outdoors, in and under the trees at Mary S. Young Park, each summer since 2004. Autumn and spring productions are held in our home space; and the company regularly performs at festivals, fundraisers and other events.
Aeros Youth Training Company
Based at A-WOL’s headquarters in NE Portland, Aeros is an aerial dance training company for youth and teen students, aged 9-18. Aeros mentors and empowers students, particularly girls and young women who comprise the majority of the company. These advanced level trainees learn creative expression and technical prowess; they face and overcome challenges; and they develop self-confidence and cooperation both on and off stage – all transformative lessons to last a lifetime.
FlyCo, Pre-professional training company
A training program for serious aerial students looking to accomplish the skills and professionalism required in the industry. This one-year training program includes intensive aerial training, conditioning and choreography work. Using A-WOL's method of collaboration, FlyCo members produce a show for the annual Open Air Production at Director Park in downtown Portland. Auditions are held in the fall.
Aerial Dance Training
A-WOL offers youth, teen and adult classes from beginning level to advanced in aerial skill training on low flying trapeze, silks, lyra and aerial yoga. We focus on developing aerial technique, body awareness and fitness while providing an engaging environment for creativity.
