Adam Dipert

Adam Dipert is a Postdoctoral Research Scholar in Physics at North Carolina State University and has wowed audiences as a professional circus performer for nearly twenty years. After he started studying human movement in weightlessness as preparation for his first parabolic flight in 2016, he has logged countless hours exploring the frontiers of microgravity flow in pools, aerial harnesses, floatation tanks, wind tunnels, and airplanes. Adam won first place in the 2021 International Jugglers’ Association Championship (individuals division) with a Space Juggling performance video. In addition to developing a new suite of dance moves for outer space, he has exercised remarkable restraint not asking NASA for permission to spin fire on the ISS.

Mission

The mission is to create zero gravity movement art.

This mission will generate a more beautiful universe through the use of knowledge and acts of determination, bathing in artistic inspiration, and growing scientific understanding.

I aim to increase scientific literacy by inspiring interest in the beauty of the natural universe.  I aim to demonstrate that scientific and mathematical concepts are more alluring when they are presented in the context of the physical realities from which they arise.  I aim to foster environments in which participants and observers are motivated to learn more about the sciences and arts.  Each of these objectives will be manifested through inquiry, curiosity, and playfulness.
