Considerations

The show can be performed without the aerial act finale. However, the company tours with a licensed rigger and all of the rigging equipment required to hang the trapeze if the venue is capable of accommodating aerials.

Happy Haps Productions aims to improve the lives of women, girls and non-binary people through the arts by: 1) Building confidence and capability with community engagement activities. 2) Creating opportunities for people of femme aligned genders to participate in the arts. 3) Connecting and inspiring female and non-binary arts leaders.
