Home Coming - Aerial Art for a cause

Home Coming

An Aerial performance event benefiting the Syrian refugee crisis

The Show

Six World Premiere aerial acts created by celebrated choreographers Brett Womack, Rachel Bowman, Terry Beeman, Sita Acevedo and Jordann Baker will be performed by dedicated members of the Womack and Bowman - The Loft community. Each group act will uniquely explore and interpret the theme of 'Home', using their chosen aerial apparatus as a vehicle for this expression.

The Inspiration

More than 744,000 refugees and migrants have crossed the Mediterranean Sea to reach Europe since the start of 2015 and more than 3,400 people have died or gone missing during this time. Over 218,000 new arrivals crossed into Europe in the last month - more than the number arriving during all of 2014.

In our 'first world' culture, it is easy to recline on the sofa, press a button on the TV remote and change the image on the screen to something less disturbing than the reality in which our European brothers and sisters are living in. "What can I do?" Many of us ask ourselves submissively "This problem is far bigger than me."

Here at Womack and Bowman - The Loft we believe in the power of community. We have witnessed women and men overcome paralyzing fear and self-doubt to achieve incredible athletic and artistic feats through the power of encouragement and support from their peers and instructors. We have been inspired by the introverted accountants and scientists who have found confidence and joy on the Dance Trapeze and the driven corporate career women who have discovered pure serenity and peace on the Aerial Silks. As a community we can inspire and motivate each other to achieve greatness, and together we can inspire the world...

The contribution

Home Coming is our community's actionable contribution towards positive global change. We believe that Art for Art's sake is beautiful and valid but Art for a cause is powerful and life changing. One hundred percent of the profits from the ticket sales of Home Coming will benefit the non profit charity 'International Medical Corps' Syrian refugee relief fund.
