All LIVE performers are required to sign a waiver for the venue (Akasha Aerial Arts) prior to competing. This is a second waiver, separate from the one you sign for the Aerialympics. All waivers for performers who are not yet 18 must be signed by the performers legal parent or guardian.
• If you already have a signed waiver on file with Akasha Aerial Arts, you are not required to sign another.
Akasha Aerial Arts waiver will be available at the venue.
Apparatus
You are welcome and encouraged to bring your own apparatus to meet any specific needs you might have. All apparatus will undergo an assessment by our head rigger prior to being used in the event.
We only rig single-point apparatus at our regional competitions. If you have an apparatus that requires 2 points (e.g., static trapeze), please bring a spreader bar and plan for a single-point rig response in your apparatus.
Note that if the equipment is deemed unsafe when inspected onsite, we have the right to refuse to rig it. In no case will the event organizers or host studio be liable for issues you encounter when using your own apparatus, even after a passing inspection.
Apparatus available at the venue will be those listed below.

Online Viewing
We do not live stream any performances. Please do not stream performances. Do not take pictures of any performer who is not a member of your family or part of your team.
All performers and coaches will be given access to view all available performances. Access will be automatically granted to the email addresses supplied during registration. Some performances will not be available for viewing at the discretion of event management.
Access will be available approximately one week after the event is over and stays up for 6 weeks after the final day of the event, after which videos are archived.
Performance videos are view-only and not downloadable unless purchased. If you are a performer and would like to download your video, please purchase it through the link below. This is typically the best way to share viewing with friends and family, because you can post or share your video directly with them. Competitors will receive a link to download purchased video approximately one week after the end of the competition.
Everyone else can purchase access to view videos after the event for $20. We will not be granting access to individual performances or divisions due to administrative overhead.
