History
Established in 2012.
Beginning as the "Aerial Alchemy" laboratory, the Odditorium was founded by Madamn Burnz as a location for intensive aerial acrobatic research and development. Their first location was inside the legendary Noodle Factory. At that time, the Odditorium served as an aerial school, performing arts center, and hub for artist studios. When the building sold in 2017, the new owner refused to renew the lease, in place of putting in a different and unknown art organization. The location is still vacant today ! After spending a year in transition, the Odditorium has finally found a new home ! In partnership with Traverse Fitness, an American Ninja Warrior training facility, Skyhigh Odditorium now has ceilings over 25 feet tall and a world of possibility ahead. Currently offering a Sunday - Thursday class schedule for teens and adults, Skyhigh looks forward to expanding their class, open gym, and training schedule in 2020 as the project continues to grow and develop.
