Aurora Circus Performances - Aerial and Contortion

Technical Requirements
Overhead Rigging (Silks & Hoop)
Rigging Point: Must be certified and support a dynamic load of at least 1000 kg (10 kN).
Height: Minimum 5m (16.5ft) for Silks; 4m (13ft) for Hoop.
Clearance: 2x2m of completely empty floor space directly below the point.
Access: Safe access to the point via winch, aerial lift, or secure ladder.
Safety: We reserve the right to cancel the aerial performance if rigging is deemed unsafe upon inspection.

Freestanding Rig (Rental Option)
For venues unable to support overhead rigging or for outdoor events.
Height: Minimum clearance of 8m.
Footprint: A flat, level space of 6x6m

Ground Contortion
Space: 2x2m perfectly flat, clean, and dry surface.
Temperature: The performance area must be at least 20°C (68°F). Performing extreme flexibility in cold environments poses a severe injury risk.

To ensure a safe and successful performance, I require the following venue details:

Aerial Acts (Silks and Hoop):
Rigging: Are there certified structural points (e.g., steel beams) that can safely support a 1000 kg dynamic load?
Ceiling Height: What is the exact height from the floor to the rigging point?
Access: How will we reach the ceiling to install the equipment (e.g., aerial lift, tall ladder, winch)?
Portable Rig: If the ceiling cannot be rigged, is there a flat, level floor space of [insert rig footprint] with a ceiling clearance of [insert rig height] for my freestanding rig?

Contortion and General Logistics:
Space and Surface: Is there a clear, completely flat area of at least 2x2 meters? What material is the floor?
Environment: Is the event indoors or outdoors? If outdoors, is the ground perfectly level

No. The venue must provide sound and lighting equipment, as per the clients' requests.

Yes, we’re happy to play music from Spotify before, after and between our sets. We’re happy to choose the music ourselves or let the client choose the music.

One of the most unforgettable gigs I have ever done was Alex and Josie's wedding, set deep in the breathtaking forests of the Pacific Northwest. The venue was entirely outdoors, surrounded by towering trees and lush, natural greenery.

Instead of a traditional indoor venue, I performed on a freestanding aerial rig placed right in the middle of the forest. Their production team handled all the rigging and setup seamlessly, which made the entire process incredibly smooth and allowed me to focus entirely on the artistry.

Performing suspended under the open sky, with the forest as a stunning natural backdrop, created a completely magical and intimate atmosphere. The earthy, organic setting perfectly complemented the fluid, contemporary dance elements of my contortion and silks routines. Seeing the guests' absolute awe as they watched a high-level circus performance nestled in such a surreal, quiet environment was unforgettable. It is a perfect example of how a freestanding rig can bring s

While I truly enjoy performing at all types of events, from classic corporate galas to intimate private parties, my absolute favorites are immersive and heavily themed events.

Themed events allow us to push the boundaries of creativity and fully integrate our physical artistry into the world you are building. Because aerial arts and contortion are so highly visual, they serve as the perfect medium for atmospheric storytelling and setting a specific mood.

We love the collaborative process of adapting our acts to fit your exact vision. Whether that means curating a bespoke musical soundtrack, designing custom costumes and makeup, or adjusting our choreography to match the energy of the room, we thrive on those creative details. From a dark, avant-garde nightclub atmosphere to an elegant, 1920s cabaret or a surreal, futuristic corporate launch, tailoring our performances to elevate your unique theme is where we shine the most.

I've performed worldwide in various events, theatrical shows, cabarets, and other forms of circus productions. I have experience performing in many settings and adapting to any theme.

We typically arrive 2 to 4 hours before the event starts. This gives us ample time to safely install and weight-test our aerial rigging, prepare costumes, and complete the extensive physical warm-up required for contortion and aerial acrobatics.

For venues with complex rigging needs, or if we are using our freestanding aerial rig, we may require a site visit or rigging installation the day before. This ensures all safety inspections are handled without rushing and keeps your event day stress-free.

For performance times, we tailor our sets to your event's flow. Featured acts (mainstage performances where we have the audience's full attention) are highly dynamic and run for 5 to 7 minutes. Ambient performances (atmospheric entertainment happening while guests mingle or dine) are typically broken into 15 to 20-minute sets, with short physical rest breaks in between to ensure peak performance and safety.

Yes, we absolutely love performing outdoors! Open-air settings can provide a breathtaking and memorable backdrop for both aerial arts and contortion.
However, because our acts involve extreme physical demands and working at heights, outdoor performances are strictly weather-dependent. For our safety, the ambient temperature must be at least 20 degrees Celsius to keep our muscles warm and prevent serious injury. We also require completely dry conditions, as aerial silks and contortion surfaces become dangerously slippery when wet. For aerial acts, wind speeds must also remain low.

Logistically, we require a perfectly flat, stable surface for our performance or our freestanding rig. We also need access to a private, climate-controlled dressing room nearby for our physical warm-up and costume changes, as well as access to drinking water.
Finally, we require that the venue has an indoor backup location or a fully covered, heated tent in case of unexpected weather changes, ensuring your

Yes, clients absolutely have a say in the theme! We offer the best of both worlds to ensure the performance fits your event perfectly.

We have a diverse repertoire of fully choreographed, polished acts set to various musical styles—ranging from dramatic and cinematic to elegant, upbeat, or atmospheric. You are welcome to choose from these existing routines to easily match the vibe of your evening.

However, if you have a specific song in mind—whether it is a special track for a wedding, a highly themed event, or a brand launch—we are more than happy to perform to it. Because our acts are deeply tied to musicality and timing, we just ask that you provide your chosen track well in advance. This gives us the necessary time in the studio to safely and beautifully choreograph our aerial drops, contortion transitions, and fluid movements to fit your music flawlessly.

Previous clients most commonly describe our performances as breathtaking, elegant, and deeply engaging.

Because we blend extreme physical feats with the fluid grace of contemporary dance, event planners often tell us that our acts feel like living art. They use words like "beautiful" and "elegant" to highlight the seamless choreography, custom costumes, and musicality of our routines.

At the same time, the high-impact moments—such as dramatic aerial drops or extreme, impossible contortion shapes—are consistently described as "breathtaking" and thrilling to watch.

Most importantly, clients appreciate how entertaining and engaging we are. Whether we are performing a featured mainstage act or ambient background sets, we prioritize audience connection. We don't just perform in the background; we draw the audience into the performance, ensuring the experience is not just visually stunning, but also genuinely fun and unforgettable for the guests.
