WDBJ7 Cirqulation Live Outdoor Aerial Performance - Pandemic Safe Event

That’s what made the night special. Wyatt performed three shows over the course of an hour and a half.. At one point, a group of kids gathered around and stared at the dancer, wide-eyed. Wyatt isn’t doing this on her own. The performance was done in concert with Fortunato, and made possible by a grant from the City of Roanoke.

“For me as an artist, and a small business owner, it provided some support during this challenging time,” said Wyatt. The grant is a lifeline that, for Wyatt, is nearly as important as the fabric she’s hanging from.

“What I care the most about is just creating that sense of community and joy,” she said.
