Aerialist Gabby Leiva, aka Surrender, is based in Seattle, WA. Currently performing a variety of aerial silks acts ranging from 4-7 minutes long depending on what type of performance fits your event. Ambient sets of 10-15 minutes can be further discussed with client
Along with aerial I also offer roaming characters or specific acts with either wooden or LED buugeng. Buugeng are two beautifully curved staffs shaped like an S. This creates hypnotizing illusions and playful dances.
The newest addition to my box of tricks is dazzling the crowd with colorful sets of silks fans. This adds a touch of grace and beauty to any event.
Gabby was an excellent enhancement to my event. She is very talented and the LED S-Staffs were mesmerizing ! She was also very nice and easy to work with. I would recommend her to anyone!

I am an aerialist, tumbler, occasional hand-balancer, and object manipulator with Buugeng - also known as S-staffs. I trained and competed in gymnastics for most of my adolescence, though I never imagined I would be able to transform and integrate that body language into the magical world of circus.
I grew up in Southern California for 15 years before moving to Seattle, Washington. In 2016, I was accepted into a 9 month preparatory program at the School of Acrobatics and New Circus Arts. I trained with several elite coaches, practiced at least 7 disciplines each week, met some lifelong friends, and broke down my state of being, only to build it back up to a foundation I humbly stand on today.
Since graduating from the program at Sanca, I have had the amazing opportunity to join a few circuses around the Seattle area such as Vuelta La Luna Variety Circus, Chrysalis Circus, Animate Objects Production Theater, and last but most certainly not least, The Cabiri. Each company has pushed me further, showing me how to dive deeper into character work, breaking the boundaries of interpretive dance, and adopting the quality of professionalism that circus artists strive to maintain in this ever growing community of circus arts.
Now I simply await the next adventures that manifest in my life. Every day presents new chances to welcome creativity, research art, and expand our fields of dreams!
For a full length act, a minimum height of a 20ft. from floor to ceiling/rigging point is necessary.
If ambient aerial is preferred then a minimum height of 14ft. is required.
