Aerial performance combines strength, grace, and genuine spectacle — a striking centrepiece for weddings, corporate events, galas, and product launches. EntertainOz lists professional aerial performers from across Australia, working on silks, hoops, trapeze, and aerial rigs.
Types of aerial acts:
-
Aerial silks — performers wrapped in suspended fabric, combining fluid movement with dramatic drops
-
Aerial hoop (lyra) — spinning ring routines blending balletic movement with acrobatic strength
-
Trapeze and aerial cube — solo or duo acts on suspended apparatus, often the most visually dramatic option for larger venues
-
Ground and adagio acrobatics — for venues without the ceiling height for rigging, offering the same visual impact at floor level
Before you book: aerial acts need rigging — most require a minimum ceiling height of around 3.5–5 metres and a single rigging point rated to 1 tonne, though this varies by act and routine. It's worth checking your venue's specs with the performer directly before confirming a booking.
