Where Can You Find Aerial Performers?

From fashion shows to product launches, gravity-defying entertainment at events has been on the rise lately. For a splashy way to capture guests’ attention (without taking up too much real estate), here are a few performance troupes specializing in aerial stunts.

For underwear brand 2(x)ist’s spring 2008 show during Fashion Week, Party Productions NYC brought in performers who did an acrobatic routine over the runway with Carmen Electra. The company’s specialties include working with silks, hammocks, harnesses, and trapezes. Pricing varies according to the performers and the amount of rigging required. MORE >>

On Tuesday evening, underwear line 2(x)ist paraded male models dressed in skivvies for its New York Fashion Week debut. As it did with its first Los Angeles Fashion Week show in March (with the saucy L.A. Laker Girls), the brand punctuated its runway presentation with unexpected entertainment—this time with a heavier dose of sex appeal (or, at least, skin). Breaking up the Metropolitan Pavilion show, surprise guest Carmen Electra and two female aerialists performed acrobatic stunts. MORE >>
