A Little Less Conversation...

I started studying static trapeze with Katie Kimball over at Twin Cities Trapeze almost 2 years ago now.  Many years ago I dabbled in aerial work, mostly silks , when I lived in NYC.  Back in late 2014 I was looking for a new way to stay fit and excited about working out, and since the gym isn't my jam and I needed a little supplement to my yoga practice, I investigated aerial classes in the Twin Cities.  Turns out there is a thriving aerial performance community here!  After a trying out a class here and there around town I landed at TC2 where I have truly found my circus home.  What started as a physical fitness outlet has quickly evolved into an obsession and my go-to therapy routine when I'm feeling anxious, blue, stuck.  As everything in my life does, the trapeze work quickly seeped over into my theater world creations.  I'm crazy excited to weave these new skills into the life of my next character.  We've just started to pull routines together for ELVIS, but here's a little sneak peek at what Katie and I have been playing with.
