Marysia Kochac

Marysia’s circus career was kickstarted by a chance encounter with a set of juggling balls at age 8 and she’s been making objects (and herself) airborne ever since. A self-taught juggler and fire performer, she discovered aerial performance and acrobatics with the Olympia Tallhouse Arts Consortium in college, later narrowing her focus to contortion and handbalancing. Following college, she trained at Galpao du Circo in Brasil before moving to Portland and landing in the first Training Company at The Circus Project. Never one to stay in one place, she then trained at SPIN Circus in Australia, completed the pre-professional program at the School of Acrobatics and New Circus Arts (SANCA) in Seattle, and moved to Brattleboro, VT to complete the ProTrack program at NECCA.
