His work includes design and execution of rigging systems and productions in the USA and internationally, including design of the performance rigging for the Big Apple Circus and Omnium Circus. Since 1997, Jonathan Deull has been deeply engaged in the study and practice of rigging and risk management for live entertainment, with a particular emphasis on aerial performer rigging for circus, aerial dance, and theatre.

ETCP Renewal Credits are available for participants with ETCP certification. The workshop is led by experienced aerial rigger and trainer Jonathan Deull. The workshop will also address the provisions of the American National Standards for Performer Flying (ANSI E-1.43 2015). While we will touch on the basic principles underlying automated performer rigging systems, this is not an automation class and will not deal in any depth with specific systems, design, or operational considerations.
THE AERIAL CIRCUS TRAINING AND SAFETY MANUAL MANUAL
Topics to be explored include dynamic loads and forces (including shock loads with live performance demonstrations), strength and properties of materials and hardware (including destructive testing), design factors and determination of allowable loads, use of non-rated and invented apparatus (including bungee), risk assessment and risk management, inspection and retirement protocols, emergency planning, manual performance rigging techniques using mechanical advantage and counterweight, touring considerations, and rigging math. It is suitable for riggers, performers, coaches, studio/facility/theatre managers, and others involved in executing or overseeing aerial performance.īoth Session 1, Aerial Rigging Basics, and Session 2, Advanced Topics, will feature practical demonstrations using computerized load-cell technology, and will provide access to an array of skills and techniques for safe and effective performance rigging. This intensive hands-on, participatory workshop will focus on principles and practices of rigging and risk management for circus, acrobatic, and aerial dance performance. Aerial Rigging Basics will cover principles, theory and practices for many typical scenarios (14 hours).
