💖We are incredibly grateful for the beautiful pole dance and aerial arts community we have had the opportunity to showcase since 2018. 💖

Despite the challenges of the past couple of years, this community and company have brought us much joy as producers and artists.

Productions for Electra will be on pause for a while. We don't know when, or if, we will resume, but we know that when we do, there will be an incredible community of pole and aerial artists to showcase.

Having families, careers, and artistic projects are important parts of our lives. We know we can have it all, just not at the same time.

Please join us in congratulating as she welcomes her second child into the world. We can't wait to have her back creating, producing, performing, and teaching after taking time with her beautiful family.

We are pleased to announce that .coven will now be solely run by and PoleCoven’s teaching team moving forward. Please give the PoleCoven account a follow for classes in 2023.

We are overwhelmed with gratitude for the chance to work with so many incredible performers, instructors, and students over the past few years. This isn't a goodbye, but an acknowledgment that things are changing and growing, and we are excited to be a part of it however we can.

All our love,

Linley + Jane

✨🌙Thank you🌙✨
⠀
It’s been just over a week since Electra Production’s sold-out show. We are still in awe over the magic shared by the performers of PoleCraft: Aerial Artistry and Other Spells.
⠀
Inspired by book Witches S***s Feminists, she points out that language is a powerful force and encourages us to craft a language of our own creation.
⠀
We’ve spent months interrogating how to present a show that honoured each artist’s story alongside building and connecting the pole and aerial community.
⠀
“By forging a new lexicon, women can center their experiences without stumbling over the vestiges of abuse harbored within patriarchal syllables.”
⠀
We are grateful for all the performers who travelled from near and far to share their art. Every movement we witnessed onstage moved our hearts and spirits as we heard your voices and stories.
⠀
Thank you for creating a beautiful space both on and off the stage. We cannot wait to see what you bring into the world next.

🌕Blessing Pole Goddesses🌕
⠀
Electra Pole Productions second show is a fortnight away, and we’re being blessed with a powerfully positive full moon to cast all of our pesky worries and inhibitions away. Early in the morning on September 14 the Harvest Moon will be radiating vibes of plenty - illuminating the fruits of our painstaking efforts over the past six months. This moon brims brightly in sweet, psychic Pisces.
⠀
Of late, the vibes of Neptune Rx have been shrouding us in paranoia and just a little bit of delusion. Paired Pisces, a sign known to get lost in their own fantasy world, this aspect could leave our heads swimming. Fortunately, Pluto is lending a powerfully positive and transformational hand to guide us through the fog and lead us right to the heart of our personal power. DAMN ~ I know I’m ready to come thru!
⠀
🔮ASTRAL POLE TIP: Get yourself near some amethyst - or any quartz for clarity and to guard off negativity - grab a piece of paper, a pen, and a fire-starter, and get your butt out of the studio and under the moon. Make a list, paragraph, or poem of your fears/stresses/inhibitions (be it related to your upcoming performance in PoleCraft, your practice, or life in general!). Read through your writing and thank yourself for all of your work, thank your body for its’ strength, and thank the G-desses/Nature/Your Higher Power for the holding space for you. Take a deep breath in and set the paper on fire, exhaling as you release yourself of all that you have written.
⠀
Bonus tip for the 🌾Harvest Moon: Make a corresponding list of everything you have achieved in the past six months - of your bounty - and refer to this list until the new moon on September 28 (the first night of PoleCraft!) every time you feel yourself getting lost in negativity.
⠀
😘

Electra Pole Art Productions presents PoleCraft: Aerial Artistry & Other Spells (“PoleCraft”) merging acrobatic pole skills, classical dance and theatrical staging by award-winning artists on September 27 and 28, 2019 at 7:00 PM at Metro Studio Theatre.

Featuring performers from Cirque du Soleil and iconic pole dance studios, PoleCraft is a celebration of aerial artists who defy gravity, leaving audiences captivated, curious and spellbound. Using hanging equipment like hoop (“lyra”) and silks (“tissu”) alongside stationary poles, PoleCraft incorporates high-energy acrobatics with complex choreography which unfolds in an abstract narrative of female power, otherworldliness, sorcery, illusion and transformation. As a rallying cry for change, PoleCraft embodies, literally and metaphorically, living outside of conventional boundaries. This production includes contemporary pole, theatrical pole, exotic pole and aerial art. The aerial art acts include double-bar trapeze, hoop, silks, and an aerial moon.

Special Thanks:
Videographer: Eli Hirtle
Designer/Animator: David Ochudzawa

Why PoleCraft? We are frequently asked about the theme of this year’s show. Why the woo?
⠀
While capitalism has made it fashionable to collect unethically sourced crystals, sage, etc., and gives excuses to culturally appropriate rituals or images on tarot cards, we are looking to dig behind and beyond that.
⠀
aptly states, “I don’t want your love and light if it doesn’t come with your solidarity and action.”
⠀
Pole dancers are no stranger to bad vibes. Despite that, we push forward. We are ready to move beyond rallying behind our phone screens about , and towards improving the world we live in.
⠀
We promote self-care and encourage each other to love our bodies. We jam together and learn new skills from each other. We manifest new experiences with each other and explore other pole communities to build connections and friendships. We care about the earth, and actively work towards decolonization. We explore movement in unison at times, and sometimes in solitude.
⠀
🔮We are building a coven based on , and that also means caring about equity. We are intersectional feminists and are on a journey to bridge our pole and aerial performances and everything we do. We know focusing on that magic (an expression of our intuition, a reclaiming of femininity and sensuality) is witchcraft. We know that it’s subversive in today’s society to build solidarity and create art. Our performers are sharing one piece of their life and art and are committing the act of bringing light into the world. We are not perfect in a complex society, but we are always improving as we remain open, mindful, and driven.
