Whether you want to learn to fly like Peter Pan or flip like Spiderman, this is the course for you. Jammed packed with with fun and exciting aerial effects, somersault techniques and stunt falls, you will leave the course exhilarated...... and maybe a little exhausted too! AirCraft Circus Academy, London's oldest and leading independent circus school, has been equipping & rigging circus schools, theatre shows, film & video shoots, and circus shows for nearly 2 decades. As experts in this arcane field, our expertise is in "old school", low-tech performer/stunt flying techniques, using ropes, pulleys, and muscle power. Suitable for ages 16yrs+. Beginners welcome.

Lucy Francis has been performing aerial harness, bungee, pendulum coat hangar and controlled rate falls for over 20 years.
