00:00Hair hanging feels unique to me
00:02because I feel like it's the only form of aerial
00:04where you're working without an apparatus
00:06so usually with silks or trapeze
00:09it would be you and the thing you're working with.
00:12With hair hanging it's just you
00:14so that feels really magical to me
00:16it feels like the most like flying.
00:21Hi, my name is Erin Blair
00:23and I'm a hair hanging aerialist.
00:30Hair hanging is a traditional circus practice
00:36where you arrange your hair in such a way
00:38that you can hang from it and do aerial.
00:41I wanted to try hair hanging because I've been doing circus for a long time
01:02and I love always pushing the limits of what my body can do
01:06and hair hanging seemed like a really exciting way to keep going further.
01:11To train for hair hanging you have to condition your body.
01:15You need a very strong spine and neck.
01:17You have to sort of train your hair and your scalp.
01:21I take a lot of vitamins.
01:22I take very good care of my hair
01:24and learning how to do that definitely took me some time in practice.
01:27The challenges with this type of performance
01:35there's a lot of pain.
01:37If not done correctly hair hanging could of course be very dangerous.
01:41You could lose a lot of hair.
01:43You could potentially have the hair come undone.
01:46You could fall if you're very high up.
01:48That could be extremely dangerous.
01:50And it's been really amazing to me to see like how much the body can do.
01:59And so I really try to explore that like how much I can express with my body.
02:03How strong I can be.
02:05How flexible I can be through my acts.
