Rigging In Your Venue
Our rigging is completely non-invasive, won’t mar or mark floors, and doesn’t require anything except available floor space. Often the perfect solution to achieve aerial artistry in unusual settings or outdoors is a portable freestanding rig, like the one Circus Kaput can provide.
If you’d like to have rigging inside your location, we need to achieve one or more aerial rigging points. In general terms, this is the place where we are able to attach the aerial apparatus so it is able to support a certain amount of weight.
There are numerous ways to achieve an aerial rigging point, and our goal is always to find the simplest method. We will schedule a site visit with you to assess the possibilities. Management of the venue or facility should be involved in this discussion. In a nutshell, we need to be able to have direct access to a structural element of your building (think exposed steel beams or girders), or some other form of structural support.
The minimum height for an appropriate aerial rigging point is 14 feet, though this will prevent some of the larger moves from occurring. Most performing aerials are done between 18 and 30 feet.
