Welcome!
Heidi has been studying, performing, teaching and adventuring in Aerial Arts for over 20 years.
She traveled all over the world performing characters that scared, delighted and literally breathed with life. She excels at creating aerial characters that come alive and move us of with their realism.
As a teacher, Heidi encourages her students to follow their own creativity and "dance" to their own tune, never forcing an agenda, always imparting beauty and grace.
Heidi is proud to annouce that she is now making Custom Made Static Trapezes.
She is also available to do workshops and help you choreograph your own aerial routine!
Contact Heidi through the contact page or the Custom Trapezes page.
I believe everyone has the capacity for poise and grace!
Studying such a wonderful art form will strengthen your body and give you an incredible sense of accomplishment.
You will be surprised by your ability to learn and create something you never before thought possible.
Classes are challenging and fun!
If you like creative hobbies, this medium is for you.
It's also a great way to get in shape and stay that way!
In the beginning we start with basic movements or tricks.
These tricks allow you to build strength and endurance, and help you learn how to use your apparatus almost like an extension of yourself.
As you progress, you will soon be creating your own personal routine! One of my biggest joys is to see students evolve and come up routines of their own.
I believe, you too will be inspired!
Come to a class and see for yourself!

BIO
Heidi began studying aerial at the Pickle Family Circus School in San Francisco, Ca in the late 1980's. A few years later ran away to France where she studied at the Fratellini National Circus school in Paris and the National Circus School of Rosny-sous-Bois, France. Heidi studied swinging trapeze for 3 years under the tutelage of Zoe Maistre.
Her professional career took off in 1996 with Transe Express where she performed static trapeze on a human mobile from a crane 90ft in the air. In 1999 she performed with them for The King of Sweeden in front of the Stockholm Opera House.
She toured 4 years with the French Street Theater company Jo Bithume playing shows all over Western & Eastern Europe and even down into South America. She has performed static trapeze, aerial silk, rope, hoop, aerial diamond, hung from a harness at 30ft, and embodied a myraid of ground characters thoughout. She once played a death wraith writhing up her rope and into infinity.
In 2001 & 2002, she toured on Caravan Stage Barge's floating theater boat in the Eastern US playing numerous aerial characters and grapplng aloft in the rigging of the barge's 90ft masts.
Heidi has played with bands and was once Santa's Helper. She played a Harpie intent on stealing a man's soul, a slut intent on stealing his body, and even an errant school boy. Many of these characters were in the air, but some were ground characters that interacted with the audience.
Since 2000, Heidi has been steadily teaching in the US at Trapeze School NY, Streb Lab for Action Machanics & at the Skybox both located in Brooklyn, NY and at various summer programs around the northeast.
The last few years have seen her create an original aerial apparatus, and help her students create their own artistic routines.
Currently she is teaching aerial at both Circus Center & Acrosports in San Francisco, California.
