(Co-Founder/Associate Director)
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.
