Jaw-dropping solo or duo acts where artists fly through the air performing spinning acrobatics while suspended by silks, straps, and other apparatuses. Theme can be romantic, dramatic, comedy, or whatever your event needs.
Ambient Performance
Stunning moving sculptures, an ambient performance has aerialists posing in the air, pouring drinks, and adding flair to an event. Artists will replace a chandelier and throughout their time on stage, will contort into impossible shapes.

“Bowties and Blue are making circus happen again in NY. They are beautifully trained, engaging to watch, and have the generosity of spirit and technical know-how that it takes to pass on their multiple skills to the next generation of performers.”
“Bowties and Blue are a down-to-earth individuals despite spending most of their time in the air. Their creativity is fun, and they are approachable. Whether you want information on straps tricks or just want to make your life more circus-filled, they’re ones to follow.”
“Damn good coach; all of my questions, just BOOM!”
“Thanks so much for creating sliding scale resources! I’m currently out of work due to the pandemic so really appreciate the opportunity to continue training”
“Coming from a climbing background and moving into circus was made accessible and enlightening because of Blue and Max. I’ve learned so much, not only about the skills I’ve strived for, but also about the human body, the proper way to train for my body type, and how to train effectively both in and out of the circus space. Expect patience, insight, hard work , and passion from these two”
“These are some of my favorite people/performers!”
