 
...to the official website for the Oberlin College Aerialists (OCA). The OCA is a student club for students who enjoy climbing high off the ground, hanging upside down in mid-air, and performing feats of skill and daring. Established in Fall 2009, the group institutionalized a long tradition of circus aerials at Oberlin. We practice and play on a variety of equipment including corde lisse, aerial silks, static trapeze, and lyra.
