Anastasia-Aerial Contortionist

The lovely Anastasia is one of those rare women of the circus who is tall. At 179 cm, her height and beauty have taken her to the runways of high fashion shows, as well as to the stages of Europe as an aerialist. With legs that go on forever and the juicy flexibility of a contortionist, Anastasia's aerial performances on straps and silks show an impressive range of aerial acrobatic technique and absolute purity of line.

Born in 1984, Anastasia grew up with a family of touring circus artists performing in various Russian circus shows. She first started performing as a juggler in a trio juggling act, and then as an animal tamer, first in an act with monkeys, and afterwards as a rider in an acrobatic act with camels.

Later she moved in to the air with solo acts on 'triangle' and on silks. In 2005 Anastasia moved to Berlin, Germany to perform at the 'Friedrichstadt Palast' as part of trio on straps. In addition to the eighteen months in the show 'Casanova', she performed solo in the 'Friedrichstadt Palast' Christmas show 'Jingle Bells', and the children's show 'Munch Hausen'. Following her time in Berlin, Anastasia worked with her solo silks act in the show 'Camelot'.

Anastasia has performed as an aerialist around Europe, Russia, Qatar and Tunisia, for gala shows, night clubs, corporate events, circus and theatre shows.
