Marie

Marie’s passion for movement started with dancing. After a few intense years at the State Ballet School, her path led her to artistry. She was fascinated by the swing trapeze – it is spectacular, dynamic, high and even during training you never lose the thrill. Her dance background gives her work a special quality of movement.
Since graduating from the Staatliche Artsistenschule in Berlin, she has been working as an artist and trainer on the trapeze and with partner acrobatics.

McKeeman is an aerial trainer, choreographer and artistic coach based in Berlin, Germany since 2012.

Carolin

Carolin Brune is a sociologist who came to the circus via detours. On these detours, she tried her hand at various disciplines and got stuck – literally – with aerial acrobatics. She is fascinated by the simultaneity of strength and softness on the vertical cloth. On the floor she likes to explore and move accompanied by one – or more – hula hoops. After her training at TPZAK in Cologne as a circus educator, she has been working as an independent circus educator in Berlin since 2019.
