Nicole Pearson - Aerial Artist Award Winning Aerialist and Former Cirque du Soleil Performer

For solo aerial - a single rigging point with MBS 500kg.
For lollipop lyra - a 3m circle of flat, even floor space and min 3.5m ceiling height
For the free-standing tripod rig - a 5mx5mx5m triangle of flat, even floor space and min 6.5m ceiling height

For all the above - 1 parking space needed, sound system and lighting (and operators) need to be supplied by the venue. In the event that a cherry picker or similar is needed for rigging, this needs to be provided by the client/venue along with a qualified operator.

Ceiling height, details of rigging points and access to rigging points. I'm happy to call the venue to get this information.

I have 25 years experience as a professional aerialist. I started as a child at a circus school in Bristol. Since then I have performed worldwide.

Rigging can take around an hour but it will depend on the venue.

Aerial acts are typically around 5 mins in length and are tightly choreographed to music. These are perfect to open or close an event, or as entertainment between dinner courses.

Ambient aerial sets can be up to 15 mins long and can be performed up to 3 times in one evening. These are unchoreographed, improvised sets which are performed slowly (like a moving sculpture). They help to create ambiance in a venue, for example, as the guests enter to find their seats.

Yes, my outdoor structures require a flat surface. The venue needs to provide sound and lighting.

I am happy to create new works to the client's choice of music as long as I have at least 4 weeks notice.
