A Little About Me

Acrobats in Snow

Theresa started her circus journey at the age of 26 with no background in dance, gymnastics, or any physical activities customarily seen in this industry. In lieu of a traditional movement background, her passion was in theatre and creative writing. Since her first aerial class she’s been addicted to flying and searched for more avenues to train independently. This hunger and drive has since led her to perform in multiple main stage shows, teach workshops, and manage various performance troupes.

Her repertoire of disciplines includes fabric, aerial hoop, duo straps, partner/group acrobatics, and more. When not training, Theresa enjoys spending quality time chasing around her 8 year old and 9 month old sons. She aspires to build a social circus endeavor with the goal of giving back to underserved communities through outreach, education, and training. Her biggest teaching goal is to instill the belief that regardless of your background and starting point, everyone is capable of achieving success in circus and that this art form should be inclusive and accessible to all.
