Creating innovative stories of triumph over adversity
A modern twist on silent films, Aerial Animation follows in the footsteps of Buster Keaton. Suspended mid-air, Abigail becomes puppet-like, performing aerial acrobatics in front of a giant animated story, where the seemingly improbable becomes believable and the impossible becomes achievable.

The story on stage
Following in the footsteps of Buster Keaton, the work uses projection mapping and live-cue software so the animation, puppets, and acrobatics respond to one another in real time. Individual vignettes run from 90 seconds to seven minutes and can be performed alone or in sequence. Existing footage can be tailored with your logos and imagery, and fully custom animations are possible with around three months’ lead time. The full-length one-hour show, Nothing Really Matters, brings it all together and is built to tour.

Aerial Animation was just as big a sensation as I hoped they’d be for the conclusion of our corporate event. I can’t wait to use them again.
