Aerial Acts        Ground Acts        Set-up


 



Aerial Tissu

 Tissu, also known as silk, is a circus apparatus from which the performer does death-defying drops, contortions and maneuvers while wrapped in two pieces of fabric, suspended high in the air.  This graceful performance is generally executed at heights of 18' - 32'. 
   
Aerial Hoop

 		 Hoop, also known as cerceau or lyra, is another wonderful circus apparatus in which the performer makes beautiful maneuvers and shapes on a large metal ring suspended in the air.  Hoop is unique because it allows the performer to take flight by swinging, spinning, and orbiting during an act, adding a great dynamic to the performance.  This apparatus is also great when tissu sized ceiling height is not available.  This dynamic performance is generally executed at a minimal ceiling height of 12'. 
   
Static Trapeze

 		 Trapeze is a metal bar suspended in the air by two ropes.  Many of the moves are similar to hoop, but are generally done without swinging or spinning.  Moves are done above and below the bar, and the ropes allow the artist to perform unique and creative tricks too.  This charged performance is generally executed at a minimal ceiling height of 15'.   
   
Spanish Web

 		 The apparatus itself is a braided rope which has been covered with a soft cotton sleeve (a "web"), and is suspended from ceiling to floor.  Towards the top of the apparatus a small loop is attached to the main rope through which a performer will secure an ankle or wrist and be able to hang freely. While in this position, the performer can do different tricks using the loop.  The main attraction of this apparatus comes when another performer, standing below, starts spinning the rope in large arcs around the aerial performers body, gradually increasing the speed of the spin until enough centrifugal force is created to lift the aerialists body into a near-horizontal position.  This powerhouse performance is generally executed at heights of 20' - 30'. 
   
Aerial Chains

 		 Two chains, suspended from ceiling to the ground allow the aerialist to climb, and perform daring drops, maneuvers, and tricks.  This act combines beauty and strength, and is generally executed at height of 18' - 20'.   
   
Aerial Hammock

 		 Hammock is a fabric that forms a cocoon around the performers body creating beautiful shapes inside, and fantastic tricks outside of the apparatus.  This ambient and tranquil apparatus is generally performed at a minimum ceiling height of 15'. 
   
Trapeze Hoop

 		 This hybrid apparatus takes the best from both worlds when it comes to trapeze and hoop.  The act can be performed spinning, like hoop, or it can be stationary like trapeze.  The combination of the hoop with the bar on top allows for unique and interesting tricks.  This act is typically executed with 1 or 2 performers, and requires a minimum ceiling height of 16'.  
   
Aerial Flame Hoop 


 This mesmerizing aerial act will seduce and enchant your audience as the flames dance around on the tips of the "wings" that stretch out from the sides of the aerial hoop.  This aerial act spans 11' wide.  The performer uses this apparatus just like a regular aerial hoop by swinging, spinning, and orbiting, while striking beautiful and flexible poses on the hoop as fire encircles it.  This exquisite act is typically performed at a minimum ceiling height of 14', and requires a 15' minimum circular clearance area for safety.  
   
Triple Hoop



 Our triple hoop act takes all the wonderful and amazing moves of the regular aerial hoop, and multiplies it by three!  With three hoops connected at their sides to form a circle, there are even more moves possible on this unique apparatus that cannot be achieved on other aerial apparatus.  It spins, allowing the audience to see the act from every angle!  This exciting act is generally performed with 3 - 6 performers at a minimum ceiling height of 16'.   


Stilts


 Stilt walkers can add a fun and unique element to any event or occasion by greeting guests, passing out gift bags or promotional materials, and posing for photos.  Stilt performers are especially great for parties or events with themes, because of the variety of exciting costume possibilities. 
   
Contortion
 		 Contortion demonstrates great flexibility and grace.  Our performer's manipulate their bodies into beautiful shapes that seem to defy all boundaries of the human form.  This mind bending performance is generally require a minimum floor space of 6' in diameter.  
   
Hand Balancing


 This hand to hand act is performed on the ground, and involves amazing strength and grace.  The performers hold, lift, and balance eachother in beautiful and thrilling positions.  This acro-balance is typically performed between two people, but a third or even fourth person can be added to make this exciting act even more thrilling.  We also have solo hand balancing acts where one performer manipulates their own body in different positions while in hand stands and other flexible poses.  These amazing feats of strength generally require a minimum floor space of roughly 6' in diameter.   
   
Fan Dancing

 		 This elegant and enticing dance is performed with large feather fans.  It is flirtatious and intriguing as the performer manipulates the feather fans in a delicate and graceful manor.  This tantalizing act generally requires a minimum floor space of 6' in diameter.    
   
 Fire Fans

 Our fire dancers will charm and hypnotize you with the flames of their fans.  Not only is this act as flirtatious as our burlesque feather fan dancers, but it is daring too as the girls manipulate and dance with their fans, getting the flames within inches of their bodies.  This hot act generally requires a minimum floor space of 6' in diameter. 





Our company is equipped with professional gear for events and venues of all sizes.  When hanging equipment we look for a strong point on the ceiling such as a foundation I-beam that we can hang our gear from.  Hanging from a theater/stage grid is also preferable, or even using box trussing to secure our gear to is always an option.  We have professional aerial riggers that can visit the event location, if needed, prior to a performance to determine the best way to set up our equipment.    

For events held outdoors, or if the venue ceiling cannot support aerial acts, we have access to a free standing portable aerial rig.  It is adjustable in height to the following sizes:
