Heidi Holmes Aerial Artist
HEIDI HOLMES Heidi's passion for physical expression has led her to explore and train across the disciplines of aerial performance including silks, cloudswing and lyra/hoop since 2004.
Heidi brings with her a physical and emotional intelligence from study and experience in multiple fields. She began acting training over a 3 year period with various courses at the Actors Centre, Sydney. Heidi has also trained and performed Street Latin (Salsa-Cuban and L.A, Cha Cha, Rhumba,etc) and choreographed/coached between 2000 and 2008. She was the first Junior National Technical Rock Climbing Champion of Australia in 1996. She won Nationals for speed climbing at Escalade 1999 and was a multiple ESPN Xtreme-Games medalist and hence a climbing coach of 14 years. So as a 'jack-y' of all trades and a master of some, this depth of experience has enabled her to create a unique hybrid in her aerial work, a well rounded approach which is always passionate, vibrant and fresh.
Presently Heid is based in Mudgee directing the Cirque M Aerial and Circus Company. Heidi previously learnt and then coached over the past 10 years with Aerialize, Sydney Aerial Theatre. Heidi has performed extensively in the corporate arena. 2011 saw Heidi writing/designing and directing an Aerialize children’s production ‘Pino and Chocolina- A Chilli Chocolate tale’. Her television experiences include Australian Idol 2009, The X-Factor 2010, Helpmann Awards 2011 and Australian Swimmer of the Year awards 2012 along with Young Talent Time 2012. Heidi was in the core aerialist company of Sydney‘s Aerialize award winning production for the Sydney Fringe Festival- ‘Clammy Glamour of the Curio Cabinet’ 2010. Heidi has donated her performance time to various charity events including the Black and White Ball (B & C Committee of Australia) 2009/2011 and choreographed aerials for World Aids Day 2011. Heidi coached at the EAAC Aerial and Acrobatic Convention in Edinburgh in 2012 and again in 2016 and travelled through parts of Europe being inspired by the amazing theatrical differences in European aerial theatre.
Along this journey she is thankful to have trained with so many wonderful coaches. Each having contributed to the artist and coach she is today.
Heidi has a completed training over 2 years with Artistic Aerial Master class with Dancing in the Air- directed by former Cirque du Soleil trapeze star Olga Sidorova. Her cloudswing training has been primarily under Natalie Harris- cloudswing artist for Quidam and Alexander Dubrovski (in Paris, France 2012)
Thanking also her first ever coach, The Amazing Arian Levaneal at Aerialize (2004) and an array of other coaches and mentors since; Simon Atkinson, Jo Lancaster and Moses from Acrobat @ Legs on the Wall, Mischa Reale, Helene Embling of NICA and Circus Oz, Simone O'brien Circus Oz- and a host of other inspiring and motivating people.
Part of her performance goal is to create acts that evoke strong emotional responses. “I want to continue performing, creating and colouring the world with aerial entertainment. I love learning through teaching and choreographing and passing on all my knowledge. I hope to keep contributing to the greater circus community through creating work that if nothing else, inspires joy and moments of wonder.”
