Michelle Mazzarella

Michelle Mazzarella is an 'artistic chameleon' who thrives in roles both onstage and off.  She is a choreographer, multi-disciplinary aerialist, cyr wheel artist, magician's assistant, dancer, producer, director, and educator. After finding her feet on the ground as a professional dancer and choreographer, she turned her focus to the air, and completed the ProTrack training program at the New England Center for Circus Arts. At NECCA, she focused on aerial fabric and cyr wheel, and gained a foundation in various other disciplines such as juggling, partner acrobatics, handbalancing, physical theatre, and costuming. Her latest project includes creating acts on her own invented aerial apparatus, combining single point trapeze and an adjustable aerial sling. Michelle lives to tell stories, and pull her audience into her world through musicality, texture, presence, and genuine human connection.
