A-WOL Aerial dance troupe returns to the forest with their show Art in the Dark, which showcases strength and silk
Nothing says back to normal like the return of A-WOL Dance Collective and its spectacular show Art in the Dark.
Every summer the aerial dance collective rig cables between the Douglas Firs in Mary S. Young State Park in West Linn, build stages, then perform an act where colored lights and greenery combine with the fluid forms of dangling athletes.
The 2020 show was canceled, like most everything else. As a dance form, aerial relies on grappling and lifting unlike many performance arts, and in the time of COVID-19, that was impossible.
