Please welcome to the TAG Workshop Instructor Lineup Liza Rose
Liza is an aerialist and circus educator based in New Orleans. Her career has spanned more than two decades. She is a generalist with a knack for translating aerial vocabulary, technique, and theory across different apparatus. Liza has a dance and gymnastics background and also dabbles in floor acrobatics, hand balancing, chair stacking, and object manipulation. She is also a personal trainer specializing in corrective exercise and functional movement patterns.
As a performer, she has been featured in American Horror Story: Freakshow, CLAWS, and was a finalist in the US Aerial Championships. She has worked as an aerial choreographer with The Acrobatic Conundrum, Zoe Keating, and Lindsey Stirling. She produced The Fly Movement Salon, a monthly low pressure/high art contemporary circus open mic night in New Orleans from 2015-2020, and performs regularly for cabaret shows and events.
She has been coaching since 2010 and has worked at Versatile Arts, Circus Smirkus, Sky Candy, and Aloft, as well as at her own studio, Fly Circus Space, for 7 years. She has taught internationally at La Central in Barcelona, Circo de Mente in Mexico City, and Aer Africa in Nairobi.
Personal statement:
My goal as a coach is to teach circus artists how to fuse movement technique and creative praxis so that they are empowered to achieve new levels of creativity and sustainability in their work. I emphasize learning theory over skills and creativity over replication.
