About Us

The Ruby Karen Project stemmed out of projects that Ruby Karen (founder and director) was undergoing in the early 2000 to the present. These included numerous performances and instructions around the globe and in 2009, Ruby Karen saw it fit to established its home base in Orange County. The organization, although mobile in many aspects, mainly renders instructions and performances and serves as the engine and operating arm of its school (also called the school of the Ruby Karen Project) and its performing company, the Orange County Aerial Arts. As a performing arts school, the areas of discipline include Aerial Arts (Tissu, Hoop, Hammock, Vertical Aerials, Trapeze, Corde Lisse, Cube and inventive apparatus) as well as Dance (Ballet, Contemporary, Latin and Theater Arts) as a form of movement to compliment various performing aspects.
