BREATH OF LIGHTS APRIL 2 & 3, 2016 @ ADT
8th Annual Production
Presented by: ORANGE COUNTY AERIAL ARTS
Inspired by the script, the Hunger Games, Orange County Aerial Arts is presenting its 2016 annual showcase. Together with its school, this production is the first combined showcase with recital pieces by the students of the Ruby Karen Project Aerial Dance Performing Arts.
Breath of Lights features surreal acts interpreted through aerial, dance, acrobatics and circus arts representing strength, courage, charm, uncanny amusements, intricate forms and shape assembling of factions and characters. Characters including Katniss, Effie and Ceasar Flickerman are just among the characters portrayed in a different intriguing and entertaining role. The script also provides light hearted vibes that bring in comical images through its costumes and props. And as we work through the technical challenges of changing aerial equipment, in combination with creative lighting to justify and fulfill the artistic content of the pieces, one cannot ignore the resulting complimentary and innovative designs.
Back by popular demand, the Orange County Aerial Arts together with Circo Etereo Entertainment will be gracing the stages at the Orange County Fairground and the Newport Beach FIlm Festival. For those looking to enjoy evening parties with great culinary showdowns, couple with Circo Etereo’s entertainment participation, the Newport Beach Film Festival hosts evening parties right after its film showings. For daytime and family oriented event, OC Fair’s IMAGINOLOGY has awesome kids, youth and adult activities. Of course, Circo Etere and Orange County Aerial Arts will be providing intermittent shows throughout the day. Below is the current schedule. Please note that such will be updated as more information will come.

Maddie Seay started her aerial training, the summer of 2012 at the age of 10 under the tutelage of Ruby Karen and Luca Cecchini, the school of the Ruby Karen Project Aerial Dance Performing Arts School. She then joined the apprenticeship program, and started performing with the Orange County Aerial Arts team, providing her with more experience on stage and causing her training to boost up.  She was casted in many of the school productions and she even acquired the lead role of “Alice”, in Ruby Karen’s production staging of Alice – Flight to Fantasy.
In 2013, inspired in her training, she challenged herself by enlisting as a competitor at the West Coast Aerial Arts Festival (WCAAF), a competition based festival. In her category, competing in the Silks and Lyra divisions, she won 1st Place in both divisions. And in the following year, 2014, she defended her title in the “12 and Under Silks Division “. This year, awakened by the fact that she would have to move up to a division that is highly competitive due to age, the competition was known to even be a tighter fight, as most of her competitors also moved up and the the retention of the already established strong contenders in the Teen division. She focused her training in various facet to provide a well balanced competition act yet still maintained her identity. …. and all her efforts paid off…. she garnered 1st Place in the Teen Division Silks Category.
To Maddie, Aerial Arts, has now become her passion. It’s a way for her to express her creativity while developing her strength and endurance. Maddie has become the athlete that she is through Aerial Arts. She loves to perform and compete and looks for any opportunity to do so. When she is not training, Maddie works hard in school. She also enjoys photography, fashion design, art, and spending time with family and friends, including her amazing friends in the aerial arts community. Maddie hopes to someday perform with Cirque du Soleil. She sees aerial arts in her future in some capacity!
