​Gwyneth Larsen

After graduating from Sarah Lawrence College with a focus in ancient Greek literature she toured the world with De La Guarda, Fuerza Bruta, The Metropolitan Opera and other renowned companies. From each company she gained a different approach to communicating passion and artistic vision to the audience, and deepened her own approach to creation and expression. Working as a stunt woman in film and television honed her sense of immediacy and intimacy, and each project always enriched her love of collaboration. In 2004 she co-founded AiRealistic- a site-specific aerial theater company- with a group of thoroughly inspired and creative artists, dedicated to excellence in creation. 

Her creative partner, William Mulholland, balances her poetic sensibilities with a drive and knife sharp focus on the goal of the production that only a world class gymnast is capable of. Together they paint stories that blend the artistic genres they both have spent a lifetime immersed in- dance, theater, puppetry, circus, acrobatics and of course, aerial. She views all performance as an opportunity to tell a story, and to share a moment of intimacy that aims to expand the audiences idea of what is possible. She brings the same passion to her teaching as to her stage creations and loves to coach actors, dancers and performers of all walks of life through unexplored physical territory.
