| 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. |

For the launch of Louis Vuitton’s LoVe collection in May, Aerial Artistry Inc. provided aerialists who performed acrobatic feats while suspended from the ceiling of Louis Vuitton’s Fifth Avenue boutique. The company offers more than a dozen male and female aerialists as well as acrobats, contortionists, and stiltwalkers. Most sets are a minimum of $1,000.
Acroback, a performance design firm, offers a wide range of airborne entertainment, from a Calder-esque “human mobile” to performers who use bouncy stilts to perform in-air acrobatics or activities like breakdancing and bartending. The company works internationally; recent events include a performance by “Mirror Man Human Disco Ball” at a benefit for the Jeffrey Modell Foundation at Cipriani 42nd Street in April, and a wide range of aerial acts at a Franck Muller watch launch in Hong Kong last March.
