A typical summer lunch plan in Central Melbourne, might include a leisurely stroll, a bask in the sun, or some entertainment on the sidewalk. <br /><br />And for something a little different, an energetic group of performers bring open air flying trapeze to the city. <br /><br />[Steen Shoar, Flying Trapeze Australia]: <br />“We come down here to Victoria every summer, performing and teaching.” <br /><br />Job satisfaction for these performers, well they seem to get as much as they give. <br /><br />[Dylan Ehrenburg, Flying Trapeze Australia]: <br />“Oh it’s great, there’s nothing better than being in some sort of industry that creates laughter and fun for people, there’s a reward from every moment your up there working. Which is, it’s why we all do it.” <br /><br />Part of Melbourne’s “Summer Fun in the City” series of events, getting people involved is a key part of the performances. <br /><br />[Dylan Ehrenburg, Flying Trapeze Australia]: <br />“We do it everyday at 1:30 during the summer, and around the rest of the day we run classes, so the general public can watch a show, then they can step up and actually be a part of the show, which is the amazing part of doing it here.” <br /><br />And one thing's for sure, they haven’t left out the slapstick humor. <br /><br />[Steen Shoar, Flying Trapeze Australia]: <br />“It’s fantastic, yeah, we get out there, we do our little silly show, and put on a good show for the folks who are having lunch.” <br /><br />Flying Trapeze Australia was established in 2000, with the aim of providing trapeze instruction and demonstration, and an uplifting, memorable experience for all involved. <br /><br />[Jenny Miller, Local]: <br />“It was fabulous to see, really really good for the city of Melbourne.” <br /><br />“Yeah I liked the outfits, they were pretty cute, and the yelling was exciting.” <br /><br />The city aerial shows are set to wrap up in Melbourne on February 7. <br /><br />NTD, Melbourne, Australia.
