What and Who We Are?
Little Apple Aerial Arts got its start training aerials in early 2010 and has been dedicated to training and finding the best in and out of the country to train with ever since.
Performers
We performed our first professional aerial acts in Wichita Kansas in 2012. Little Apple Aerial Arts had four performers wowing audiences in that show. Including Heidi Hilton, a headliner, as the Wicked Witch(Aerial Silks Solo & Duo Straps Flyer), Mindy Dryden(Corde Lisse’) & Phoebe Crusch(Spanish Web & Corde Lisse’) cast as Flying Monkeys, & Damian Hilton as the Emerald City(Duo Straps Base & Web setter for Spanish Web) for Art Aid 17. Heidi and Damian performed a motor lifting duo straps act opposite Little Apple Aerial Arts silent, but not so silent partner, LA based Joshua Carlson and his straps duo partner actress Jillian Smalley. Since that time, one might view some of our professional work locally in Manhattan like our most recent project(2016), a multimedia music feature, partially paid for by a research grant at Kansas State University(pictures below). Insert additional pictures w/Liza & Heidi from Brian’s smaller pics. See if you can frame steal a information rich still from the video footage.
Additionally our high-flying professional artists performed a mixed aerial tissu/lighted staff act, “Il Dolce Suono” to over 1200+ audience members suspended 30+ feet above the McCain Auditorium stage.
