Performing Art – Seattle
Avery joined Circus Juventas in Minnesota in the summer of 2005 at the age of 11, and by the age of 16 had declared to the world that she would be a professional circus artist. Since then she has learned twenty different apparatuses, and performed seventeen. With Circus Juventas, she worked on seven contemporary circus productions as both a character performer and an aerialist for audiences from 500 to 1000. Avery was also a member of a triple trapeze team that competed in a 2010 Circus Festival in Sweden, where her team took home first place in their age category. An instructor as well as a performer, Avery first began coaching as a 14-year old student, learning how to teach alongside coaches from countries and companies around the world. Since moving to Seattle in 2015, she's been a performer for both full fledged productions and intimate cabaret style events with Emerald City Trapeze Arts and several other companies, in addition to expanding her knowledge of teaching, and circus costuming.
