Gabriella

Instructor

SOUL Aerial and Performing Arts

Gabriella first stepped foot on a stage at the young age of three, and hasn't been able to shake performing since. She spent the first 20 years of her life dedicating her time and energy to all forms of dance. She has trained and studied ballet, tap, jazz, modern, contemporary, ballroom, and acrobatics. She continued her education at The Evergreen State College and received a Bachelor's of Arts in Dance and Movement Studies. It wasn't until she was 21 years old when she discovered circus arts. She began training on fabric, corde lisse, and static trapeze at The Aviary in Olympia, WA under Sara Sparrow. Then she went on to perform a couple of shows with The Cabiri in Seattle, WA and now performs with Host of Sparrows Aerial Circus in Richmond, VA. She has developed a deep love for the trapeze, and she focuses most of her energy into that apparatus, admired by how free and how much room the trapeze allowed for creative expression. She pursues circus arts with a desire to create, stimulate ideas, and to always push the limit.
