Aerial Performance FAQ

Aerial Fabric offers these guidelines for performers to consider when asked to perform at parties, events, corporate functions, etc…

Costumes

Performers please check your costume in a practice session prior to your show.

Equipment

Performers check your equipment prior to performing, ask if the venue can provide a lift or access to your point.

Lighting and Sound

This should be provided by the venue. We recommend wearing ear plugs if performing in nightclub or loud parties.

Venue Access

We recommend you tour the venue at least one week prior to the date of your performance to assess rigging and equipment needs.

The venue tour must be accompanied by a contact person for the venue and personnel responsible for the building.

Access to venue within 48 hours of the date for rigging and equipment check is advised.

Insurance

We recommend all performers are covered by their own health insurance, and performance insurance.

Rigging

We recommend you be able to access the ceiling structure and attach apparatus via ladders, cat walks, lifts, or hoists.
