How aerial acrobatics taught me physics and the other way around | Mykelle Walton | TEDxBoise

Mykelle Walton performs amazing aerial acrobatics as a narrator explains the physical laws behind each move. Based in Southern Idaho, Mykelle Walton is an aerial artist pushing the boundaries of what the human body can do, while combining it with the strength, grace, and artistry of a cirque style aerialist to create one-of-a-kind experiences about the questions of life, philosophy, and physics. Mykelle has been doing acrobatics for over 23 years {almost her entire life} and has won multiple regional titles for gymnastics, as well as being a self-taught aerial artist. She has dreams of running away with the circus in the near future and hopes you enjoy the combination of all of her passions in this piece.
