Fabric & Rope (also known as tissu or silks or corde lisse)
This is a type of performance in which one or more artists perform aerial acrobatics while hanging from a specially manufactured fabric or a rope. The artist climbs the fabric/rope, relying only on their training and skill to ensure safety. The apparatus is used to wrap, suspend, fall, swing, and spiral their bodies into and out of various positions.

Involves working on the apparatus as part of a duet
This can be done on vertical (fabric/rope) or support apparatus (trapeze/hoop). It features two artists working together on the same apparatus to perform figures and bear each other's weight. A lot of time is spent developing trust and confidence in the partnership.
