MARYSIA KOCHAC
ACROBAT-JUGGLER-HANDBALANCER-CONTORTIONIST-MIME
ABOUT
Marysia has been described as "the swiss army knife of circus performers" for her expansive skill set and ability to open a bottle of wine in a pinch. She spends 90% of her time pursuing the upside down and airborne, gleefully smashing together object manipulation, theater, and movement. The other 10% of her time is spent reading good books.
Marysia graduated from the three-year ProTrack program at the New England Center for Circus arts in 2020, where she majored in artistic falling (acrobatics and theatricality.) Prior to that she honed her skills at SANCA (Seattle), Spin! (Australia), The Circus Project (Portland) and Galpao du Circo (Brasil).
Marysia is currently based in New Orleans for the winter street performance season, and is available for projects, performances, and collaborations world wide summer 2023.
Full resume and references available upon request. (Give me an excuse to show off.)
