Abstract: A transparent performance apparatus allows a wide variety of acrobatic performances to be performed, while also providing an unobstructed view of a performer. The apparatus may comprise a circular transparent body having an opening therein. The body may be sized to accommodate at least the height of a performer such that the performer may position him or herself within the opening of the body. The transparency of the body allows an unobstructed view of the performer. An outer surface may be curved to allow the apparatus to be more easily moved on a stage or other surface. In addition, the inner surface formed by the opening may be curved to allow a performer to control the motion of the apparatus during a performance.
