Ivan Benajmin

Ivan Benjamin took his first circus class in aerial conditioning in 2019 and developed a passion for all things trapeze. Their practice took them through swinging, static, dance, and duo trapeze, until finally uncovering their ultimate adoration for flying trapeze. In the process of learning to fly, they found their true home in the catch trap. Ivan loves the distinct combination of athletic ability and mental acuity that catching demands. But above all, they get the most thrill out of working with flyers and supporting their goals.

Although catching flyers is probably the coolest thing they do, Ivan runs a thriving silk screen business with his siblings that has been in operation for over 40 years in western Massachusetts. He is also a bodybuilder, art model, and vegan.
