Colleen Sands

Colleen brings aerial artistry off the theater stage and into the spaces where people actually gather — ballrooms, rooftops, restaurant patios, festival midways. Trained across multiple aerial disciplines including silks, sling, rope and lollipop lyra, Colleen builds custom acts around the room: a dynamic duo lollipop piece for a cocktail hour, a high-energy silks routine to open a gala, or perfectly timed aerial bartending moments woven into a restaurant's regular entertainment lineup.

What sets this apart from a standard circus act is flexibility — Colleen designs each performance to match the venue's rigging capabilities, audience, and vibe, rather than dropping in a one-size-fits-all routine. Corporate clients get polish and precision. Wedding clients get spectacle without stealing focus from the couple. Bars and restaurants get a recurring draw with instagram appeal that brings guests back month after month.

Available for one-off bookings and standing monthly residencies. Fully insured, professional rigging equipment, and a media kit with photos and reel available on request.
