Hey, I'm Arson (he/they)
I am a trans/nonbinary Austria based aerialist specializing in dance trapeze and aerial hoop. You can also say I am a very well versed dabbler in aerial chains, flying pole, straps and sometimes even fabric. Actually, my circus career started in the study of aerial fabric, which is reflected in my current rope-based dance trapeze work, so I’ve officially come full circle, yay!
​
Since mid 2021 I have had multiple opportunities to learn from Jenny Tufts, Aisling Ní Cheallaigh and Kalina Suter which also heavily influenced the way I move in the air, no matter what apparatus. In January of 2024 I performed on national TV (die große chance) with my duo partner Nici Bruckner, solo and duo at Vienna's Buskers Festival in 2023 and played my first crane gig in September 2023! My most recent and personal in-project piece got premiered in July 2025 at Irish Aerial Dance Festival.
​
Besides my performance work I also have the pleasure of sharing the wonderful world (and community!) of flying with a whole bunch of new people since I started teaching regular classes at Aerial Silk Vienna and the occasional guest workshops elsewhere since spring 2022. And lastly, did I mention that I like cheese? Like a lot. If you ever need to bribe me for something, I’m not saying cheese is the way to go, but shhh it is the way to go.
