Artist Highlight: Macy Smart-Zimmerman 🎪 Performing Aerial straps in Come Together | Circus Etc. Cabaret on July 19th at Emerald City Trapeze Arts! “Macy began her circus journey as a youth student at Versatile Arts, where she discovered her passion for aerial arts and eventually began teaching. In 2020-2021, she spent a year training at the San Diego Circus School as a part of their preparatory program before moving back to the PNW. Her deep love for aerial straps, rope, contortion, and hand balancing that has shaped the last decade of her life. Macy recently move to Bellingham and has expanded her community, now teaching not only at New Moon Movement Arts in Seattle but also at Cabaret Atelier, Bellingham Aerial and Dance, and most recently the Bellingham Circus Guild. After undergoing major hip surgeries to correct hip dysplasia on both hips, Macy is thrilled to be back in the air. This performance at Emerald City Trapeze marks not just her second show since recovery, but a celebration of the resilience that defines both individual artists and our circus community as a whole. When not training or teaching, Macy can be found hiking, swimming, and experimenting with new recipes.” Reserve your tickets for THIS Saturday! #linkinbio

Working on my static high switch--surprised myself when I did this for the first time a few weeks ago! Excited to clean it up. Things are coming along 😆

Another few favorites from a 2020 photoshoot with @splits_whisperer and @dakoa

I'm having a hard time believing that this was almost five years ago... I miss you @splits_whisperer !!

Totally unscrewed 🪛 . . . Got the screws taken out of my hip a week and a half ago! I took a week off to let my incision heal. Back to it now. This is what I was able to do today--mostly muscle ups and planches, but it was something!
