Journey into the realm of Stunt Rigging and Aerial Acrobatics, with basic and advanced techniques.
Learn how to rig the most basic setups or the specific rig that you need for your performance or sequence. If you are a stunt-performer, aerial acrobat or rigger we will offer you a place to learn new skills or brush up your old tricks in great company, and at the same time expand your network. We provide you with the best atmosphere available, to improve in! Course manual available at booking.
Basics:
Not even Superman gets to fly before the anchor-points has been set (unless it’s CGI)! We will go over the basics of rigging points, securing anchors, designing and building truss-rigs.
Theory and safety
Setting up truss-rigs
Abseiling and rope ascension
Simple lifting with pulley systems
Stunt rigging:
Rigging or wirework is a big part of the stunt and film industry. Helping superheroes fly around, pulling bad guys through the air or suspending set pieces and actors from the ground. It’s hard to imagine an action film without it!
Working with counter weight systems
Jerk and ratchet systems (manual and pneumatic)
Slack-lines and deadmans
Aerial acrobatics:
Float effortless through the air with grace, or at least learn how to make it look like you’re not hanging from ropes. It takes training, strength and knowledge to achieve this, hanging upside down, flipping or spinning around. Get familiar with the gear and harnesses.
Harnesses
Aerial balance and technique
Wall running / Dancing
2D-systems and sequences
Instructors:
Jacob Malm Carlsen (Founder / Stunt Rigging)
Anne Rasmussen (Manager / Aerial)
Daniel Freyr Eliasson (Assistant Rigging and Aerial)
