Ariel performed on average 7-8 shows a weeks in the prestigious Prohibition Theater, and held positions as lead aerialist, aerial choreographer, and aerial rigging safety advisor. She designed a number of custom apparatuses, including an aerial throne, an aerial saddle, and she dreams of crafting a giant aerial banana one day.
