About This Cause

A-WOL strives to embody the spirit of "aerial without limits" through presentation of world-class performances that defy expectation, ignite inspiration and foster creativity. A-WOL was founded in 2003 by four dancers who have worked collectively, developing and expressing their different strengths and skills, both on and off stage. Avoiding the cookie-cutter feel, A-WOL comprises strong dancers each possessing a unique style or specialty which gives the company's repertory an ever-evolving texture. Off stage, each member has a specific responsibility, from costuming to equipment rigging to teaching and community outreach. Our fans tell us we liberate audiences from traditional ideas of 'dance'. Mingling the worlds of aerial and dance, our company ignites a wonder and curiosity for what can happen when the human body takes flight. The physicality of our performers' movement on the floor and flying above it conveys striking fearlessness and unmistakable rigor. A-WOL dancers have been seen hanging from the trees in the middle of the forest, dancing on walls, and dangling from the ceilings of Portland's trendiest night clubs. Hip yet sophisticated, A-WOL has a distinctive and versatile style that our audiences know and love.
