Mace Team in Record-breaking Aerial Performance
The "Mace Spirit of Adventure" global aerial performance team has made history by breaking the Guinness World Records title for the 'Most people performing aerial silks' with over 25 dancers performing a synchronised routine in the air.
With the average number of simultaneous aerial performers usually between 2 and 5, last night's performance of 25 dancers performing over five minutes of synchronized aerial silks is a significant first for the art form.
The performance took place at Old Billingsgate in London to celebrate Mace's 25th anniversary with a hand-picked team of top professional aerial performers from all over the world to form the "Mace Spirit of Adventure" aerial performance team.
Mark Reynolds, Chief Executive at Mace said: "We are delighted to announce the achievement of a Guinness World Records title for the Mace 'Spirit of Adventure' aerial performance team. Mace is a company that thrives on adventure, challenge and opportunity. We have a track record of doing things bolder and better when delivering our projects such as The Shard in London and we brought this to life at our 25th anniversary event."
Adam Blackwood, Creative Director of UK top-25 event management consultancy Private Drama, explained: "We are thrilled to achieve a Guinness World Records title and conceive and produce yet another world-first for Mace, a company at the helm of some of the world's most iconic structures. Aerial Dance was an obvious choice for us to highlight the story they have to share on their 25th anniversary, while simultaneously elevating the breathtaking and dramatic artform of Aerial Silks by achieving A Guinness World Records title on the day."
