Expand your knowledge of safe rigging practices at ADF 2019

May 30, 2019 Laura

Studio owner? Instructor? Performer? Student?

The popularity of aerial arts has exploded in the last few years. It is more important than ever to educate ourselves on how to stay safe and keep others safe in the air by learning best practices in rigging.

Take advantage of this special opportunity to study with Delbert Hall, recognized expert in aerial rigging and performer flying. With over 30 years of experience and over 400 productions rigged, Delbert is excited to share what every aerialist should know about rigging and connect you to resources that will aid in safe practices for the future.

Help insure the longevity of aerial instruction and performance by learning how to safely rig!

Rock Exotica Butterfly Lift Workshop

Saturday, August 3 | 10:00 am – 11:30 am

Frequent Flyers company members demonstrate the Butterfly Lift in action!

Add the freedom & power of the Butterfly Lift to your aerial performances!

Rock Exotica’s Butterfly Lift is a portable manually operated system specifically designed for lifting aerial performers. It is designed to lift either one or two performers (up to 350 pounds) and is easily operated.

This rig has many advantages over a flying winch:

  • Much less expensive
  • No electrical power required
  • Lighter – can be transported in the trunk of a car or plane (as checked baggage)
  • Easy to set-up (typically in 45 minutes or less)
  • Can be operated by a performer with minimal training

This session will demonstrate how to setup and operate the Butterfly Lift system. Learn More
