Aerial Artist CV Example
Aerial artist bookings — especially for cruise ships and theatre productions — require more documentation than most performing disciplines. Here is what a complete, agency-ready profile looks like and why each element matters.

Apparatus named precisely — not just 'aerialist'
Aerial Silks, Aerial Hoop, Aerial Straps — each listed separately. A booker casting for a theatre with a specific rig needs to know exactly what apparatus the artist performs on. Vague entries get filtered out before the audition stage.
STCW and ENG1 certificates visible with expiry dates
Cruise agencies check certification before inviting to audition. If certs are missing or expired, the application goes no further. Having them listed upfront — with valid dates — removes that friction entirely.
Performance video plays in the CV
Aerial reels need to be seen immediately. Video hosted directly on PerformerCV plays inside the profile without redirecting to YouTube or Vimeo. The booker stays focused on the artist.
Per-member details for duo acts
For aerial duos, each partner has their own photo, bio, languages, and certifications listed separately. Casting teams reviewing a duo need individual details — a combined entry creates doubt.
Visa section shows where the artist can work
International cruise routes require working rights in multiple jurisdictions. A visible visa section tells the booker immediately — before any conversation — whether the artist can board for their target routes.
