In the vibrant world of performance art, crafting a standout CV is crucial for showcasing your unique skills and journey. This blog post offers an overview of my path as an aerial performer, detailing my experiences, training, and artistic influences.

Experience in Aerial Acts: Rope and Straps

My journey in aerial performance ignited with a deep passion for movement. This passion has opened doors to prestigious events and competitions, where I have showcased my abilities in rope and straps.

Nikulin Circus Festival

The Nikulin Circus Festival in Russia is a prestigious event that celebrates the art of circus performance. This festival attracts talented artists from around the globe, showcasing a variety of acts that include acrobatics, clowning, and animal performances. Competing in this festival is a significant milestone for any performer, as it represents not only a chance to demonstrate one's skills but also to connect with a rich tradition of circus arts.

My participation in the International Festival Nikulin Competition 2025 was a highlight of my career. On August 15, 2025, I was honored to receive the Award Winning Flic Flac Prize, a recognition that underscores the dedication and hard work of all participants. The festival's vibrant atmosphere, combined with the talent of performers from various countries, made this experience particularly memorable and rewarding.

Canadian National Exhibition Ice Skating Show

The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) in Toronto is renowned for its diverse array of entertainment, including a spectacular ice skating show that captivates audiences each year. This event features skilled ice skaters from across Canada and beyond, who come together to showcase their artistry and athleticism on ice. The CNE is a significant cultural event, attracting visitors from all walks of life and providing a platform for performers to shine.

Beyond this competition, I also had the opportunity to perform at De Monthelon, Montréal (Fr) on July 27 to August 1, 2022, as well as in previous years, including July 27 to August 1, 2021, and in 2025. My role involved both rope and straps, showcasing the flexibility and strength required in aerial performance.

In an effort to share my knowledge, I taught and performed at the Théâtre Cirqule in Geneva from January 15, 2022, to January 1, 2024. This enriching experience allowed me to mentor aspiring performers while honing my own skills.

Most recently, I took part in The Odys Experience on December 10, 2023, working primarily with straps. From December 1, 2022, to December 1, 2023, I collaborated with Compagnie Jeremy Willy, acting as a straps replacement. This role affirmed my capability to adapt in dynamic settings.

Additionally, I showcased my skills at the Compagnie Entr'act during the Festival of Ostrava and Nordlingen, performing in street deambulation acts from June 24 to June 27, 2022, and again from September 9 to September 11, 2022. Both festivals celebrated unity and art in public spaces, making my performances part of a greater experience for audiences.

Formation

Training has been vital in shaping my identity as an aerial performer. I have learned from some of the best in the field, which enriched my abilities significantly.

My journey began under Aedyn Walsh, my personal rope trainer at Château de Monthelon, from April 1, 2021, to October 1, 2021. This foundational phase was essential in establishing my technical skills.

Then, I benefited from the guidance of Emiliano Ron, a respected rope teacher and mentor at Labonita (BCN), from October 1, 2021, to January 1, 2022. His coaching helped me refine my aerial techniques and performance artistry.

From September 1, 2022, to October 1, 2023, I worked with Jeremy Willy, my personal straps coach in Geneva. His mentorship was instrumental in advancing my skills. Currently, I am training with Victor Fomin, a personal straps teacher in Montreal, starting from January 8, 2024. This ongoing experience deepens my skills further.
