We love to use aerial arts to explore story and to feel playfully powerful. Come play and surprise yourself. You’ll be guided with one-on-one instruction by our resident aerialist Evie Digirolamo who has trained and choreographed performers in the aerial theater productions: Little Pilot, Houdini, Bone Mother, The Matrix (for the 5/5 Fringe Fundraiser), Snow Queen, and Charlotte’s Web.

Community Response Program

825 Arts will provide for the acute need for community access to safe, healing, creative spaces through their Community Response Program. The goal is for this to be a responsive program available to the public any time there are events that provoke collective grief or trauma. In addition to offering creative resources, 825 will provide the community with information that directs them to low-cost/affordable mental health services, access to emotional and spiritual healers and bodyworkers, and places to find free food for people in need. Presently, this takes form through our efforts to support our immigrant community, via building donation, art kit distribution, immigrant-centric programming, and more.
