Tangled Mess: Creativity Prompts for Aerial Silks
This digital manual features some of Zoë’s favorite methods for creation and play on aerial silks. Developing new sequences, pathways from A-Z, and shapes through a “tangled mess” experience! Though how tangled you get will vary greatly with each try, the goal is for you to get a little messy in the pursuit of creativity and utility for flow.
The Tangled Mess Philosophy
Practice how curiosity, necessity, and improvisation can intersect in the air. You’ll read how to use wraps not only as tricks, but as launching points for endless possibilities. The manual frames the mindset of this exploration — why it can help choreography and originality, how it builds artistry, and how it keeps you safe.
Focusing mostly on Zoë’s tangled mess philosophy and practice guiding questions, in this manual you won’t be taught new wraps — you’ll learn how to create your own.

Maybe you have a routine with a gap in skill A to B… but you know deep down there is a way to pull them closer together!
Maybe you don’t love your entry to a skill, and you know deep down there is a better way to achieve the same wrap/ trick.
Maybe you need 15 seconds filled in a choreography to make sure your star rotation or big split lines up at the beat drop!
Or maybe you just love wrap theory… and even if you don’t, tangled mess is sure to be a fun - as well as a strength and endurance challenging - experience!
See examples of tangled mess explorations from Zoë in Hipkey Catchers, Thigh Hitch, CASH, and Post-Star Seatbelt. Hyper-linked video demonstrations bring these explorations to life, so you can see her creative process unfold in motion.

DISCLAIMER: Aerial arts are a VERY dangerous practice. They require body awareness, control (ability to hold positions and move through pathways with respect for transitions), and strength built through good form habits learned in classes and lessons with a qualified coach. Learning from online resources can be a great avenue when also accompanied by hands-on coaching - there are many nuances to aerial wraps and positioning, engagement or control of the body that are difficult to understand the reasoning or importance behind. Always work safely over a mat and always try new things from the ground first! All exercises in this manual are executed at your own risk. Moody Street Circus LLC and all persons involved in the creation of this guide will not accept responsibility for injury to any degree as a result of practicing the drills in this manual. Always consult a professional rigger to make sure your apparatus is safe.
Skills are best ”unwrapped” with a coach at your side!
