Bronwyn Mead

In 2012 Bronwyn discovered circus during a particularly boring time of her life after receiving her BA in Creative Writing from Columbia College Chicago. Her younger life was filled with singing, dancing, and acting, but at that moment all she was doing was waiting. Waiting tables and waiting for her short stories to get published.

 

To break the monotony she started as a once-a-week recreational student at The Aloft Loft and quickly fell in love with the strength and grace of aerial. It felt so good to tap into her body again, to rediscover her love of movement and character. It didn't take long to realize that all the studying she did as a writer was directly applicable to being a circus artist. She then went on to study under Shayna Swanson and many other amazing artists as a student of The Aloft Loft Full Time Program 2014-2015.

 

In the fall of 2015 she moved to San Fransisco and trained briefly at the Circus Center and worked with AcroSports and Circus of Smiles as an aerial and tumbling coach. She was quickly whisked away to London to study trapeze at Gravity Circus Centre in early 2016. Since then she has coached for Circus Smirkus, Flying Fantastic, Aircraft Circus Academy, and SkyLab Studio. In 2017 she toured with CircusMash in England and performed at Edinburgh Fringe Festival with RoguePlay Theater. She is now based in London and eager to travel and perform throughout Europe.
