10TH – A Glimpse at the Past and Future
April 7 @ 6pm or April 8 @ 3pm

The Ruby Karen Project and its performing troupe, the Orange County Aerial Arts will mark the beginning of its 10th year as a performing arts school. On April 7 & 8, 2018, we will celebrate this in conjunction with our yearly production and recital, entitled: 10TH. We are excited to have all past and present students join us for this production and we look forward to this uniting experience….

10TH is a calling of old pieces we created from the following full-length shows we presented over the past 10 years including: HOLIDAY ON AIR, AIRBORNE, NIGHTMARE ON AIR, TALES OF THE GODS, ADVENTURES OF THE MORTARS, ALICE: FLIGHT TO FANTASY, FAIRYTALE IN BLUE, BREATH OF LIGHTS, SUPER HEROES and this year’s, new piece, “Echorus” representing 10TH.

In this production, several signature pieces created by Ruby Karen have been revived and re-staged:  “The Arena”, “Frozen”, “Alice”, “Flower”, “Overture” and this year’s premiering of “Echorus Module”,  a work in progress about pitch, dynamics and movement that echo individuality and social relationships through the underlying world of streaming.

Caitlin came in 2nd Place at the West Coast Aerial Arts Festival Open Group division in 2013. Caitlin earned her aerial instructor certification through Aerial Arts America’s IATTP – International Aerial Teacher Certification Program in early 2014. In 2015 she joined the professional aerial company Circo Etereo and has done a number of gigs all over Southern California.
