A local professional from Long Beach, Kevin judged the most recent 2023 West Coast Aerial Arts Festival, and we are happy to see him again this year. He is the head choreographer for Nathalie Gauthier’s Le Petit Cirque, an aerialist, dancer, and educator specializing in artistic act creation. He has taught many aerial workshops and created acts for students of all ages for a decade. In fact, as a performing artist who graduated with a BFA in Dance at the California State Long Beach, Kevin has performed, among others, his aerial chains number on the national US tour for Vampire Circus, and for Terry Beeman’s Mental Head Circus. He also has danced for DIAVOLO: Architecture in Motion – TRUST show throughout Los Angeles county, and his own choreography has been commissioned by dance companies throughout California. He loves to combine his aerial and dance knowledge together to make work that is not only visually impactful but also meaningful. His specialty includes artistic act creation on any aerial apparatus with original sequences and choreography. He grew up training aerial since the age of 14 and started dancing in college.
While in college he had the chance to do harness work for a Dixie Consumer Products national commercial, and perform his chains act in Terry Beeman’s Mental Head Circus. He also performed for the Chase Center’s groundbreaking ceremony, choreographed by Cirque du Soleil’s Ben Potvin. Kevin’s dance choreography throughout college was also selected to be performed in the American College Dance Association Gala.
