Fallon Voorheis Mathews
Back story on Fallon Voorheis-Mathews
Fallon is the boss lady. The one you don’t mess around with and that you listen to because she is almost always right (while I am always right).
She is easy to spot in a crowd with her jet black hair and impressive winged tattoo . She is a powerful spirit, chill as a cucumber and sarcastic AF.
Very known facts about her : she loves Paris, macarons, Tiffany, stripy clothes and whiskey.
I like whiskey, therefore I like Fallon.
I met her about 5 years ago while shooting her for a non profit in a cemetery (how often do YOU get to say that?). Our friendship developed while I was throwing flour at her in my basement, sticking her under water and shooting her, and walking the street of Paris twice (and shooting her, Ha!).
We froze together in cold water, we got flour in our eyeballs and we almost got arrested for trespassing. We love to do crazy shit together, Fallon plays along beautifully with her cool cucumber tiffany blue painted nail stripy shirt self.
This year she created her own aerial dance company named “In the Wings” (insert gasp and eeeeek and little excited fist pumping dance)
I am so excited for her and so proud that she finally did it. Check out In the Wings’ Instagram @inthewingsaerial .
A bit about In the Wings
Fallon’s company is a collective of powerful women.
I have met and worked with each of them over the years. Together they have several lifetimes of experience on the ground and in the air. The dancers have diverse backgrounds, from ballet to gymnastics, with a solid training in aerial dance. What makes this group so unique is that those dancers are each bringing their unique skills to the table . Fallon is aiming at combining all those styles into one coherent professional aerial dance company that creates edgy and meaningful shows.
In brief, those dancers form a sisterhood of badassery that is nurtured in their love and respect for each other.

On November 10th, In the Wings is hosting their first social hour and fundraiser at the Studio Denver! Please check the company’s page periodically for more info (you are the first ones to know about it you lucky devils).
