One of the first choreographers to utilize what we now think of as aerial dance was Trisha Brown. She called her dances (1968–1971) “equipment pieces”. These were not “dancey” pieces, by placing the pedestrians on the side wall, Brown illustrated the choreography of everyday movement. She was notably the first choreographer to pull dancers up into the air. She choreographed multiple pieces off the ground, some involving projection and multimedia, using air and wall surfaces in novel ways.^{[citation needed]}

In the late ’90s an Argentinian aerial dance troupe named De La Guarda gained notoriety in London for their show combining performance art with aerial dance. The troupe is no longer touring, but some previous members have started a new company called Cuerda Producciones that continues to create aerial dance theater pieces.^{[citation needed]}

Another early influence on aerial modern dance, Terry Sendgraff, is credited with inventing the “motivity” trapeze.^[1] Sendgraff actively performed, choreographed and taught in the San Francisco Bay Area from the early 1970s, until announcing her retirement in 2005 at the age of 70, when she handed over her aerial dance business to Cherie Carson. The motivity trapeze came about as a result of an exploration on a low-hung circus trapeze. The ropes twisted together, causing the apparatus to spin. By formalizing this, hooking both ropes to a single point of attachment, Ms. Sendgraff used the apparatus to spin, twist, as well as fly in a straight line and in a circle.
