Aidan is an actor, aerialist, and a great enjoyer of bad jokes. Originally from Boise, he's been living in New York City attending the Stella Alder professional actors conservatory and couldn't be happier doing so.

He's also half of the flying trapeze and static trapeze duo partnership "Basically a Duo". He enjoys being in the air, long walks on the beach, and spending time with his mom.

Jen has been a long time lover of circus and aerial arts. Her aerial addition started in 2009 with flying trapeze. She started aerial silks in 2018 and was immediately devoted. Jen is a mom of two kids who also love aerial and is an assistant Nurse Manager in a busy Emergency Department. She is also a silks instructor at Asana and couldn't be more excited about sharing her passion with others! This will be her first year as a Circus Vision Staff Member.

Alyssa began her circus life on a whim at the College of Southern Idaho in Twin Falls, Circa 2015. Despite taking summers off to work/ adventure in Alaska, she has been a dedicated aerial addict ever since! Life brought her to Boise in 2019 where she found new spaces to play and another welcoming aerial/circus community in which to learn, grow, and now also instruct! Alyssa's flying trapeze love is new, but very strong.

Katie (flying trapeze instructor, aerialist, dancer, choreographer) first started flying trapeze in 2015 here in Boise, ID. Throughout the years she has been lucky enough to fly, catch, and coach, across the country from Seattle to New York City.  A long time dancer and silks artist, Katie took to flying trapeze because of the new and unique challenges it provides and all the amazing people she gets to work with!

For the past few years, she has been a trapeze coach/instructor primarily at the España-Streb Trapeze Academy, in Brooklyn.

She is passionate about working with children and attends Brooklyn College, majoring in Early Childhood Education. She is very excited to be a part of the Circus Vision team and looks forward to sharing her passion for trapeze with the Boise community!
