Kimmie Miller (Kimberly Marie/Spinity Hoops) is the founder of Aries Moon Circus. In 2011, she started as an avid hula hoop dancer, and quickly became enamored with everything. Aerial, fire, flow arts, she's addicted and she knows it!

After being a solo performer for many years, she decided she wanted a big circus family to collaborate with and create true magic with! Themed performances and community performances are her passion. Thus, Aries Moon Circus was born. She is driven by community involvement and creating performance opportunities for others to shine and express their artistic and creative selves.

Lollie is a co-producer and performer for Aries Moon Circus. An avid circus advocate, she aims to bring lighthearted joy into every performance. Her characters are exaggerated and cheesy, with an entertaining balance of impressive skills and campy antics that engage audiences and wow onlookers.

She has experienced firsthand the restorative aspect of play and the empowerment that accompanies flow arts practice. One day, Lollie intends to incorporate circus and flow arts into a therapeutic recovery program for trauma survivors.

When Selysa Love turned 18, she ran away and joined the circus, in Peru. True story. But she couldn't stay in Peru forever, and when it was time to hit the road, the only thing she could fit in her backpack was acrobatics. It is a powerful portal that she uses to spread Love into this world. She has spent thousands of hours training and has taught around the world in India, Mexico, China, and across the USA. During her right-side-up hours, Selysa is the owner/operator of Sacramento Reiki Center, a place of healing for the local community.

Savanna is a local acrobat and contortionist. Her day job is in water resources management and she is obtaining her masters in water and environmental law. She has a passion for the circus arts and exploration into body movement.

Demetria began aerial arts in 2018 to simply build strength. What began as a fitness goal quickly became a source of joy and expression and she has expanded her skill set to include not only silks; but also lyra, hammock, trapeze, and pole. Sacramento has a phenomenal aerial community and she is very grateful to be a part of it.

Matt will be our MC extraordinaire for the show. He comes to us with an extensive background in theater arts. Matt is passionate about theater, juggling, and kung-fu!

Carson has been practicing and teaching acrobatics for ten years, and when he's not lifting others up he's whitewater kayaking or giving council and Reiki at the Sacramento Reiki Center.

Chenelle Barratt has been practicing the flowarts for 12 years, with her main focus being fire dancing. She has been performing since 2013 and running fire circles since 2018 where her passion has since then been deeply rooted. Her goal is to provide safe and judgement free spaces for fire dancers to share their art and self expression at different events in Northern California!

Nataya started her aerial journey in 2014 on split fabric (aerial silks). Since then, she has expanded to aerial hammock, straps, pole, and lyra. Aerial net has been her most recent fixation, and she is excited to share her net piece with others.

Sara Vis is an aerial performer who has explored a variety of apparatus -but her current favorites are aerial loop straps (contortion straps), aerial sling, and aerial rope. She has a strong desire to try new things – be it a weird character portrayal (like being a Disco Dolphin recently), to explore new emotions on stage, or just to have fun spinning really fast or dropping it like it’s hot. She has performed in outdoor and theater events with the studio she used to co-own – The Aerial Lab, Syn Circus, and lots more, and hopes to travel more in the future sharing quirky aerial creations.

Acroyoga captivated Maeley from the moment she first tried it at Sariah’s intro class at Pipeworks. Acroyoga immediately became an integral part of her life where she felt safe and encouraged by the community to try things she had never thought possible. With absolutely no background in movement, she has spent the last 7 years developing her creativity, body awareness, and passion. She is so excited to be part of this amazing showcase of talent and to perform for you tonight!

Drawn by a love of movement and the supportive community surrounding it, Chris fell in love with acroyoga the moment he discovered it. He is enamored with partner acrobatics' ability to foster encouragement, growth, and playful connection. He has been a dedicated (obsessive?) practitioner over the past seven years. When he's not throwing friends and loved ones into the air, he can be found developing video games, adventuring in nature, or tinkering on art and construction projects.

With performing in their blood, Sam comes from the circus city itself, Sarasota Florida, Home of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, where they studied countless shows from world renowned performers.

By grand design, Sam then attended Florida State University, home of one of the only college circuses in the nation and the only one with its very own big top tent! It was at FSU’s Flying High Circus that Sam performed gravity defying tricks on Team Juggling and the Slack Wire.

After over four years of performing at FSU, Sam’s travels find them here in beautiful sunny and circusy California, still juggling life’s curveballs. What more does this circus journey have in store?
