Cori is a Circus aerialist who performs on aerial silks and swinging trapeze. She teaches classes in aerial silks. Aerial silks is also referred to as aerial tissu, aerial fabric and aerial tissue. Classes in swinging trapeze and other circus aerials are offered through the Vancouver Circus School at the North Vancouver Recreation and West Vancouver Recreation gymnastics.

The Circus Aerials Silks program was developed by Cori Woolfe when she was working with her four year old daughter. She developed the program because she saw that many children and adults were not able to climb but wanted to learn how to do the tricks that they had seen performed on fabric. She implemented the Aerial Silks program in 2004 and it was adopted by a Circus School in Vancouver 2005 and has been used my many other organizations since then. Her program is designed to assist participants in learning both the skills and the cautions necessary to participate in a safe and effective Aerial Silks program for Children and Adult Beginners. Aerial Silks is physically demanding and many children and adults become discouraged because of the strength required to learn skills. From her experience as an adult learner and through teaching silks to children, she developed a program that will allow students to learn skills using LOGICAL PROGRESSIONS that will develop strength while they learn skills and performance routines. This program was developed with assistance from Aaron Johnson, to assist both students and other instructors to further develop their skills and to train new instructors to expand the aerial silks program.

We have had the great privilege of learning silks from many other silks artists and instructors who have very generously shared their expertise. They include but are not limited to: Sam Alvarez from Montreal,  Rebecca Leonard from Toronto,  Laura Paxton from Seattle, WA, Ginny Ritchie from New Zealand, Elsie and Serinty Smith and from Circus West; Colleen Yeun  and Jay Nunns. We have also had the benefit of learning from others we have performed with such as Jamie Evrard,  Monica Tse, Israel Mota Reyes, Claire, Talitha, Lucky and David Anderson as well as all of the other aerialists from Cirkids, VCS and especially the Great Northern Way Aerial Club who motivate and inspire us.
