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.
