The lyra is a circular steel apparatus (resembling a hula hoop) suspended from the ceiling, traditionaly used to perform aerial acrobatics. It can be used static, spinning, or swinging. Lisa's current work involves the development of lyra style equipment, adapted to accomodate her limited grip; strength conditioning, and discovering movement, holds, momentum, ect. Justinian Morton fabricated Lisa's lyra.
