Delighted to be back at the wondrous Moisture Festival variety show - and part of something so joyful, eccentric, and alive. Thanks dear friends for coming out to support —and showing up for live local performance art. And Jim, always my anchor. One more appearance at the April 11th matinee! #moisturefestival #wwwamylynnaerialistdotfun #aerialslingtricks #sharedliveexperience

@mp_letourneau said that she had another amazing experience at @moisturefestival ✨ A special thanks to @cornicellophoto for the photos and @alplotkin for the videos - your talent & expertise is much appreciated! I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to share version 1 of this creation on my new table with canes. It’s just the beginning. I never thought I would do canes, I never thought I was capable because of limitations I created in my lil head. That’s not reality, though. We’re capable of so much. I’m not double jointed, I started contortion at the age of 20, and a lot of my focus goes towards pole and aerial. But I’m disciplined, and perhaps slightly crazy, and found a way to make it work for me. I definitely encourage my students, and really any artist out there, to stay in your lane and find what works best for you…there’s nothing more special than putting something of yourself in your work. Despite the fact that I’m dressed up as the Cheshire Cat lol, this has been a sacred experience and means a lot to me. 💜 #contortion #circusinspiration

This act is not about being more powerful than anyone else ... it’s about believing in myself so hard that it crowds out all the self doubt. Even in the midst of “messing up” … even when surrounded by badass, intelligent, stunning, strong, sexy, empowered, resilient, amazing, world-class humans I’ve had the privilege of being around my entire life💥🖤👠 What a special, supportive audience to debut this act for. Who supported even harder when I spun my loop around the cyra 😅 . Thank you @aerialisto for the space to debug that in between shows, @lieucious for doing the heavy lifting all weekend, @alplotkin for these videos, @kikimorafashion for this catsuit, @clubhellaheels for these sexy midnight heels. And the entire team of @moisturefestival for your magic 🥲🌧️☔️🩵

Ever wonder why we are called The Goose? Here’s a peek into our history and a look at the man who hand built the cabin and founded The Cosmic Goose Juggling Farm; the incomparable Mr. String! Catch the entire original video by @alplotkin on YouTube. 🎥 @alplotkin

So excited to be back at @fshualalai - I can’t believe I haven’t played this course in 7 years! It’s definitely one of the most interesting ones I’ve played, since the main hazards are old lava flows all over the course. Shot an 84 so not bad! ⛳️ #thegolfniche . . . #golf #golfing #golfswing #golflife #travelandgolf #golfphotographer #golfblog #golfchannel #golfer #golfersofinstagram #instagolf #golfersparadise #fshualalai #hawaii #hawaiigolf
