Open Air

"Remember when you were a little kid and you would spin until you had to fall down? Or run to cool off? Or jump from the back of a couch and really really fly?"
 
Open Space for Arts & Community invites Vashon to fly with us, at our third annual Open Air – the light, bright, outdoor aerial festival with a splash of circus and magic in the meadow. Bask in the sun, enjoy the view of Mount Rainier, lean back and fly in your imagination as you watch fabulous aerialists from the Northwest and beyond.
 
Producers Janet McAlpin and Lynelle Sjoberg are excited to bring together their third annual aerial festival, with performers old and new bringing new work that will delight all ages. Performers include internationally renowned rope artist Terry Crane (of Teatro ZinZanni and more) and Upswing Dance Co.; Janet McAlpin & Lynelle Sjoberg debuting a new piece; Martha Enson; Esther Edelman and her Silkworms (students Glenn Easley, Julie Gibson and Laura Cherry); mother/daughter duo Elizabeth Klob (a student of Esther’s) and Madeleine Schroeder (a student of the UMO School of Physical Arts); Lisa Elliot and students; Leah Mann; David Godsey; the Rock Island String Kollective; a spectacular appearance by Patricia Toovey’s DRAGON, and more.
 
Open Air takes place in the beautiful Open Space meadow. Relax, enjoy the view of Mount Rainier, bring a blanket to sit on and a picnic, and fly with us! A great event for all ages; admission is by donation.
