<div>Hi there! We’re Daniel and Lizzy, circus nomads who have spent our adult lives traveling the world, sharing our passion for circus craft with students and audiences alike. Over the years, we’ve done a bit of everything—from designing and installing custom rigging systems to writing, directing, and producing full-length shows. But we are best known as flying trapeze coaches, having played a pivotal role in launching and leading multiple trapeze programs at professional and recreational circus schools across North America.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Flying trapeze is a rare, infrastructure-heavy discipline. It requires large-scale rigging, net systems, safety hardware, anchors, hauling systems, and trained staff. Because of that, very few cities have permanent programs. Albuquerque currently does not have a dedicated flying trapeze rig — and we’re working to change that.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The good news: we already own the rig, the net, and the core equipment needed to operate safely.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What we need now is help covering the startup costs required to bring it online in Albuquerque.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have chosen Albuquerque, New Mexico as the home for this next chapter. With its bold creative energy and independent spirit, it’s the right place to build something new: the city’s first dedicated flying trapeze training program, and eventually a permanent circus training and performance space built around it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are currently seeking a temporary outdoor location where we can erect our full flying trapeze rig while we work toward a long-term facility. Launching a program of this scale comes with significant upfront expenses — even when you already own the equipment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support will help cover:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Site preparation and anchor installation
</div>
<div>• Permits, insurance, and legal setup costs
</div>
<div>• Transportation and deployment of the rig
</div>
<div>• Initial operating expenses while enrollment builds
</div>
<div>• Basic production infrastructure for early community events
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This campaign isn’t about buying a dream — it’s about activating one.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’ve spent years building the expertise and acquiring the equipment. Now we’re asking for support to take the final step: installing Albuquerque’s first flying trapeze rig and opening it to the public.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At the same time, we’re continuing to build the Circus STEPS online platform to support circus artists everywhere — with Albuquerque as our physical home base.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This campaign is the first step toward something permanent. As we demonstrate demand and build momentum, we’ll pursue larger funding efforts to support a full season of shows and a long-term facility.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for helping us bring flying trapeze to Albuquerque for the first time.
</div>
