In this episode of Aerial Evolution, Rowan and Jane have a conversation with Lindsey Butcher, the founder and artistic director of Gravity and Levity as well as the European Aerial Dance Festival. Lindsey shares beginning her aerial career in the 80’s and how her dance training influenced her artistic choices. You never know where or how people will impact your life; the formation of her company is a perfect example. One of the topics that continues to come up in these discussions is inclusivity. Lindsey offers a fresh perspective with the work she did for the Paralympics in 2012 and the Legacy Intensive hosted by Gravity and Levity in 2013. This inspiring conversation will invite you to think a little bit differently about the possible future of the aerial community and aerial dance.
