Rachael Inman
has danced since her inception on this planet. She
has a Master of Fine Arts in Dance from Florida State
University. She currently explores Aerial Dance through
her choreographic work and feels her investigation
and interest in "flying” reflects a common
curiosity in mankind. While researching the form she
was fortunate to study with Terry Sendgraff, a pioneer
of Aerial Dance and the low-flying trapeze. One of
Ms. Inman’s aerial solos, By a Thread…,
was commissioned by “Of Moving Colors Productions”
in Baton Rouge, LA and was selected to be performed
in the Louisiana Alliance for Dance Festival in 2005.
She has also worked within the field of dance technology
and has produced an aerial video-dance that was selected
for the 2003 "Dance Beyond the Stage" film
festival.
