At Cirqular Entertainment, we pride ourselves on delivering high-impact, breathtaking performances with just as much care behind the scenes as onstage.

Earlier this year, we encountered a situation that reminded us just how crucial this is. We were working at an event where a group of student aerialists had been hired through another agency for less than the industry standard rate. These young artists were excited, enthusiastic, and eager to perform but unfortunately, they weren’t given the tools or support they deserved.
Without a technical rehearsal to ensure a proper safety check, it fell to us despite not being responsible for their booking to step in. We gave them a safety briefing, made sure they were secured correctly, and even had to undo their page line so they could access their silk. Had we not been there, a serious safety incident could have occurred.
This moment speaks to something we take very seriously:
✅ Performer safety is non-negotiable.
✅ Underpaying artists doesn’t just undervalue their talent it often cuts corners on safety too.
✅ Professional support ensures everyone on the stage (and behind it) thrives.
We understand that budgets can vary. But when agencies compromise on fees, they often compromise on proper rigging, training, insurance, and onsite support leaving performers vulnerable.
At Cirqular, we never cut corners. Our artists are paid fairly and treated with the respect their years of training deserve. Every act we send out is risk-assessed, insured, and backed by experienced safety professionals who know the ins and outs of working at height, with fire, or on specialty apparatus.
When you book with Cirqular, you’re not just getting entertainment. You’re getting peace of mind.
✨ Let’s raise the bar for what’s expected in our industry for our audiences, our clients, and especially our performers.
If you’re looking to create magic that’s spectacular and safe, let’s talk.
