Pink is one of the few singer?songwriters in the contemporary entertainment world who takes on challenging, performer?flying routines herself, creating her very own captivating fusion of stage arts. Her moving rendition of Glitter in the Air brought the crowd to their feet. Never missing a beat, Pink delivered the song from her Funhouse album with typical aplomb in conjunction with an elegant trapeze act.
Pink slipped into a white silk sling that lifted her up above the stage where she remained airborne throughout the song with three gold?clad silk performers accompanying her acrobatic feats. The American?born star kept her flawless composure as the rigging system dipped her into a pool and lifted her out in a series of spins and a spray of water.
Aerial Rigging Techniques once again chose to use a Stage Technologies AU:tour system and three BigTow winches, controlled with an Acrobat desk, to transport Pink to these higher heights at the Grammys. Aerial Rigging Techniques and Stage Technologies provided rigging expertise and rental equipment for Pink's high?octane Funhouse tour, which started out in the Netherlands last year, rocked Australia, rolled around the US and has boomeranged back to sell?out shows for her fans in Europe into 2010.
Richard Kent of comments: "Providing answers to demanding design briefs in this area is something that as a company we thrive on. Being able to supply a flexible, reliable and tourable set of control and rigging equipment was essential for us to guarantee a polished end-product for Pink. Stage Technologies more than met our brief allowing us to give the artist the confidence to achieve her ambitious performance criteria."
