Alastair Pilgrim
Alastair Pilgrim discovered flying trapeze while on vacation in Club Med Sandpiper as a teenager. He wasn’t initially very talented at it, but after a week of determined effort he made his first Knee Hang catch and became addicted.
As soon as he was old enough, he became a Circus GO (instructor) for Club Med and has since travelled the world teaching trapeze, additionally working for Envol in Paris, Circomedia in Bristol, L’Atelier du Trapeze in Brussels and most recently as part of his own flying company, Red Hands.
Alastair is the creator and webmaster of The Trapeze Net (flying-trapeze.com) and maintains an extensive database of flying trapeze schools and flying trapeze tricks on which these books are based.
He currently lives in Germany.
