Circus 250 Commission Opportunity | The Civic

http://www.barnsleycivic.co.uk/artists/commissions-opportunities/circus-250-commission-opportunity

barnsleycivic.co.uk Circus 250 Commission Opportunity

This June, we are offering a two-part rigging workshop with Aerial/ Acrobatic Rigging Specialist, Brett Copes of Fight or Flight Entertainment (and Head Rigger of Equador), Rigger with Cirque Du Soliel, Cavalia, and most recently Head Rigger of MARVEL UNIVERSE LIVE and PETER PAN 360.
Across two days these courses we will be covering everything from standards and certifications to shock load testing, risk assessment and rescue plans.
We are very excited to be able to offer this course to Scotland’s Aerial community, as it’s not often you can get rigging courses without having to travel to other parts of the uk! Please feel free to share this event with anyone who you think might be interested as there is no pre-requisites for attending (other than you must take rigging 101 or have equivalent experience to take rigging 102).
I’ve attached full details of the weekend below including times, course content and prices.
If you have any questions about the event at all, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Best Wishes,

Mark
