Touring venues for aerial artists and companies

Hey!

Tour booking and finding partners is one of those things that takes time, and adding aerial circus into the mix makes it even more fun! I didn’t want to keep all the info to myself, so here’s a list of venues I’ve toured in or done residencies with so far. Hopefully, it’s helpful! (I’ll try to update this list as I go along including heights,capacity and Children’s Theatres.)

Feel free to drop a comment if you know of any more venues!

If you reach out to these spaces, just make sure you and the venue align creatively. :)
