Art / News There Was an Aerial Performance on the Williamsburg Bridge Last Night

Some of our favorite art happens high atop the Williamsburg Bridge, and last night at 7pm it was the venue for a brief, acrobatic and illegal aerial performance titled "Risk Life for Flight" by Seanna Sharpe, dangling from the tower at the Brooklyn end of the bridge. The performance was beautiful and brief, as Gothamist reported NYPD rushing onto the bridge towards the east tower.
But Sharpe got in at least four to five minutes of aerial dancing before they reached her (arresting Sharpe and an assistant), and as you can see from the video below, it's pretty insanely beautiful—and strangely appropriate, given the most recent aerial stunts to take place on the bridge.
