Below is a list of some of our most popular acts.
Aerial Acts available include:

- Lyra: A steel hoop or ring suspended from the ceiling, usually about the size of a hula hoop, on which to perform aerial acrobatics. Can be used static or spinning
- Tissu: An aerial apparatus made from a length of fabric in various colours and with varying amounts of stretch. The aerialist climbs up and down the fabric, wrapping sections around the body to hang, drop and slide during the performance.
- Spanish Web: rope hanging from above, used to perform aerial acrobatic manoeuvres while spinning.
- Cloudswing (static): large u-shaped loop of rope suspended from rigging points in the truss and used in aerial acts.

Ground acts can also be suited to short interspersed grabs or trick points instead of feature acts. This is recommended where the objective is to raise talking points instead of featured performances.
