THE RIG

We have two aerial rigs: one in Toronto and one in Calgary! Our free-standing rig breaks down into 8 ft. poles for easy transportation. It ships in two large road cases or travels with us in a cargo van.
  • Height clearance: 25 ft.
  • Ground coverage: 25 ft. x 25 ft. (any level surface except gravel)
  • Set-up time is approximately 50 minutes; strike time is 30 minutes

REQUIREMENTS

  • Weights to stabilize the rig: 200 lbs in sand bags or similar per side (total 400 lbs)
  • Secure overnight storage for road cases (where applicable)
  • Parking for a cargo van (if local)
  • Two full range speakers on stands, 4-channel mixer and CD playback (plus power)
  • Lighting, if performances take place after dusk
  • A dressing room of any description (restroom, green room, tent, pipe and drape)
  • Bottled water

INDOOR RIGGING

At some indoor locations we are able to hang equipment from existing staging, trussing or support beams. Technical specifications may need to be approved by a certified rigger or venue engineer. Some rigging fees are extra. Contact us to arrange for a site inspection!
