My name is Alex White (sometimes La Peche Rose) and I am the founder and lead instructor at Crescent City Aerial Arts, a premiere Aerial and Cirque studio in New Orleans, Louisiana. Crescent City Aerial Arts seeks to provide a safe and nurturing environment for those interested in exploring the aerial arts.
I believe that aerial and circus arts can be transformative for performers and audience members alike. It is my mission to empower all bodies to experience flight and push past preconceived boundaries of movement.
I train, perform and teach in aerial fabrics, sling, dance trapeze and lyra and like to incorporate floor based movement into aerial technique. I focus on body alignment, spatial awareness and modifications of movement based on individual physicality utilizing aerial arts to celebrate the body not vice versa. This movement methodology is based on concepts of liberation and social interdependence.
I welcome you to move with me!
I use many different mediums, such as the floor, trapeze, silks, chains hoop, other bodies, and invented apparatuses such as the triangle. Anywhere we move is the medium.
I have a traditional dance background with an emphasis on ballet technique. This developed into an interest in yoga, Pilates and other restorative practices including meditation. I utilize my 30 plus years of movement into my aerial practice as I am still learning and growing my personal practice.
I enjoy being in nature as much as possible and my style is directly influenced by the contrast of wilderness and safety found in nature. I am also inspired by community and the relationships and bonds forged from chaos, love, affinity and beyond.
