Rigging Course
This rigging course is presented by Bryan Donaldson from High Performance Rigging and is run over a two-day period (five – six hours per day). The sessions are split into classroom theory and on-site practical rigging.
Students should ideally come from an aerial performance or technical background with a reasonable level of physical ability/fitness (for practical ‘at height’ demonstrations etc.). Students will be required to take notes during theory lessons.
Bryan will cover not only the basics and not so basics of rigging for aerial performance but also your legal obligations and requirements so you can keep yourself and people in your care safe and alive.
There will be a theory written/multiple choice test at the end of the lesson.
