Zuker started circus arts on silks and lyra in 2010. After moving to NYC in 2012, and refocusing on lyra, contortion, and handbalancing, they trained Mongolian contortion under coaches Nobutaka Mochimaru and Khazu. In addition, they trained handbalancing under coaches Adam Woolley and Jan Manke during this time. Since returning to Austin in 2016, Zuker has continued contortion and handbalancing under Olga Pikhienko’s coaching. Zuker now coaches contortion and handstands and has been with Laché since 2018. Their favorite part as a coach is teaching sequencing and when students overcome the effort-face.
