About me

Prior to becoming a rigger and carpenter, my specialism lay in circus, graduating after 5 years study in circus arts and acrobatic gymnastics at the Moscow School of Circus and Variety Arts. My specialist acts were Russian Bar (Base/Catcher), Aerial Flying Trapeze (Catcher and Trapeze Coach) and Acrobatic Trampoline, each performance requiring a great deal of strength, concentrations and skill. I subsequently spent almost thirty years working worldwide on the professional international circuit. During that long period, I have learnt first hand, the many skills required to maintain and operate all areas of aerial performance including splicing of wire and ropes, rigging aerial equipment for a diverse range of venues, as well as operating the aerial flying systems, both manually and electronically. After stepping away from circus performance, it has been a natural progression to use the wealth of skills I have collected to work in theatrical rigging as a profession.
Additional skills:
Design and custom manufacture of a wide range of specialist aerial and ground equipment.

Operating flying by Foy systems.

Rigging and de rigging aerial equipment.

Operating aerial acts manually and electronically.
