What a brain full! We absolutely loved to take part in @hprigging course of the fundamentals of aerial rigging for performance! Not only did we learn some new bits and bobs but it was just really lush to be in the seat of learner and to learn from the absolute best.

We are so thankful for Matt for organising this event and we loved hosting it for the Northeast and for all of the artists and companies who came to the space! We also had amazing feedback from Brian about our little Community up here in the north and it’s a little visits like these that really reminds us how special we are!

If you need a top-up of knowledge or a place to start in understanding rigging fundamentals and this is definitely the cost for you get in touch with Brian and the team to see if they can come and visit you too!
