The aRTyMs Rig:
Set up time: 30mins Take down: 15mins
Height: 7 meters
Ground Space: 5.5 meters x 7.5 meters
On any flat surface 8 meters away from open power lines.

I require the assistance of three people for two minutes for the 'put up' and 'take down'. I do the rest.

Ballast options:
a) For street performances I use two willing adult volunteers per leg of aerial rig, (eight people in total). This is my preferred option.
b) Or the rig can be fixed into the ground with 75cm long 30mm wide steel pegs. (Four to twelve depending on soil type).
c) Or 200kilo water ballast (small wheely bins filled with water). This is my second preference.
d) Or 200 to 500kg-kilo concrete ballasts minimum

My rig can be set up to one side of a main stage, or to the side of a 'pitch' (street performance area) then moved by two people into the 'show zone'.

Things your festival/company are to provide:
Transport and accommodating for myself and my rig.
Basic lighting if the performance is at night.
200watt sound system (however I can provide this if necessary and would need prior notification).
One 'Safety Person' who watch out for the general public while the rig is being erected and de- rigged.

Performance fees are by Application.

SAFETY IS MY FIRST PRIORITY FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC, MY AUDIENCE, MY VOLUNTEERS AND MYSELF!!

140kgs total
