Zoe Irvine Circus Artist

When booking aerial entertainment for an event, clients typically choose to either have an aerial act or ambient aerial entertainment. In choosing an act, the client can expect ~5 minutes of skilled, polished, and artistic content set to predetermined (by client or artist) music. Ambient aerial entertainment, which can be on a range of aerial apparatuses, though some are better than others, involves performance sets of ~15 minutes followed by breaks, with a maximum of four sets. For ambient aerial entertainment, the client, DJ, or band typically selects the music.

Aerial performances are contingent on a rigging inspection and attachments rated for human load. A minimum of 12 feet of height is recommended for any aerial performance. Depending on the space or if you would like an outdoor performance, a portable rig of up to 25 feet can be brought into the venue. Rigging may come at an additional cost and require additional personnel.
