Dreamscape Aerial Rigging
Dreamscape Aerial Rigging is based in Sydney, the big rig 6.5m exists to be the framework for the aerialist who wishes to perform, be taught and train in some of the most exquisite sceneries.
The rig set up has been custom designed for photos and performers. The rig is completely hidden, no rig legs in shots (which happens in the tripod design) and no hitting the legs the higher you climb for a drop (which happens in the standard freestanding rig). It is also specifically designed for duos to perform side by side without interfering with the other performer's space.
Certified to and exceeding Australian Standards for 2 aerialists, it is the biggest freestanding rig in Australia of its kind. Designed as non-corrosive in seawater, the rig’s feet angle to match surface angle. All points are all adjustable from the ground to allow for quick changes in apparatus height and rescue operations.
