Our Story

Épica was born in 2020, launching the first aerial dance retreats in Patagonia, Argentina, with two groundbreaking editions in January and February, and a third return to the territory in 2024. Our creative research centered on rigging harness and aerial dance in unconventional landscapes—collaborating directly with Patagonian forests, mountains, and a sailing vessel on Lake Nahuel Huapi. Now based in South Florida, Épica continues to push the boundaries of site-specific movement, offering exclusive immersive experiences at sea.

Gigi Bostjancic

Founder & Artistic Director of Épica

Performer, instructor, and movement researcher with over 20 years of experience. Her background seamlessly bridges physical theatre, body expression, yoga, and circus aerial disciplines, including lyra, hammock, trapeze, and chinesse pole.

In 2014, Gigi’s artistic vision was recognized internationally when she was awarded an Emerging Choreographer fellowship to participate in the prestigious International Aerial Dance Festival (ADF) hosted by Frequent Flyers in Colorado.

As the creator and founder of Épica, Gigi designs high-end artistic and pedagogical experiences that integrate art, health, and human connection. A pioneer in site-specific aerial research, she has spent years exploring how natural elements—from her early exploration with a local ensemble on a 30-foot sailboat in Buenos Aires and deep movement research aboard a 40-foot vessel in Brazil, to Patagonian mountains, ancient forests, Lake Nahuel Huapi, and the open waters of South Florida—reshape the aerial body and unlock authentic artistic identity.

Currently based in South Florida, Gigi’s life mission is to untether artists from the repetitive mirrors of traditional studios, reconnecting them with raw nature to strip away technical noise and return to the very root of what moves us.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • If either the Master Captain or the Lead Coach determines that weather conditions present a safety risk for nautical navigation or aerial activity, the session will be postponed. The experience will be rescheduled for an alternative date within a 6-month period from the original cancelled date.

  • We regularly open specific calendar dates for solo participants and smaller groups to join forces until we reach our 5-participant cohort layout. Alternatively, if you wish to guarantee the date exclusively for yourself or a smaller group, we offer the option to run the session as a fully private charter for a total flat rate of $2,000 USD.

  • Prior experience is not required for the Harness sessions, as our methodology is designed to safely adapt to all levels. However, for Flying Pole, Lyra, and Aerial Hammock sessions, a baseline background in aerial disciplines or movement arts is required.
