BARE TRAPEZE
This listing is for a trapeze WITHOUT ELBOWS. AKA a "naked trapeze."
Please only order this if you intend to put your own elbows on or buy my custom removable elbows.
Designed for aerialists who move fluidly between rope and bar, this custom corde lisse trapeze offers a responsive, versatile apparatus for both training and performance.
UPGRADES -
Each trapeze is built to order, perfectly pairing well-crafted J Ropes with a precisely welded Aerial Animals bar, allowing seamless transitions between climbs, wraps, and beats.
Bar Length:
Specify the Working Bar Length (see diagram). There is a possible variation of up to 1/2 inch due to variations in rope size and padding thickness.
Each elbow is carefully padded, smoothed, taped, and covered by myself, with photos of each individual elbow as I assemble your trapeze to ensure safety and quality.
Ideal for professional performers and advanced practitioners, this apparatus is equally at home in rehearsal spaces and onstage. Whether you’re developing new vocabulary, refining technique, or performing under lights, the corde lisse dance trapeze provides a gorgeous, expressive platform for creative aerial work.
Features:
Custom-built to your preferred bar dimensions and rope length
One-of-a-kind trapeze elbows sewn to your specifications
Professionally covered corde lisse for consistent grip and longevity
Suitable for training, creation, and performance use
Built with attention to balance, strength, and finish
Each piece is made with care, precision, and respect for the demands of aerial practice — a functional tool and a performance-ready apparatus.
** Please note, as with all corde lisse ropes, the covers will eventually start to break down depending on use and environmental conditions. This is a normal and natural part of the lifecycle of the apparatus. Fortunately Julian at J Ropes is able to provide this service and Willow Circus Works is able to recover the trapeze elbows to your specifications.
