A non-profit incorporated association to promote circus & aerial theatre. We run quality, fun, imaginative workshops and performances in trapeze, rope and aerial skills, for adults and children.

Aerialize is an innovative theatre group that combines the art of dance, theatre, gymnastics and circus in an aerial environment. Aerialize have been thrilling local and international audiences with death defying feats of grace and beauty on the trapeze, rope and web.

All Aerialize instructors are highly trained in their field of expertise and perform in major events and shows across Australia and Asia.

We create opportunities for creative and professional development, in a contemporary and dynamic circus art form. Classes include static trapeze, aerial tissue, ring, corde lisse, contortion, Spanish web, acrobatics and acrobalance, hula hoops, tightrope, juggling and more.
