Marlo Winter
Eda Begadix (Marlo Winter) is an aerialist and clown whose work plays with wild vulnerability and bright-eyed debauchery. They are a founding member of Airbound Underground Circus Collective, an aerial instructor at Sparrow Studios, and a producer of The Playground Project, a local renegade, experimental theater series centered on queer history.
They have been performing in Olympia for over a decade, where performance has become a space for physical storytelling and cathartic experience. They’ve learned the power of softening the edges of technique, tuning into authentic presence, and seeing what wild shit arrives.
Simone Tzur
Simone Tzur is a hand balancer and aerialist who has been teaching movement for over 15 years. Her work emphasizes movement science and anatomical specificity, and she enjoys supporting students on their individual journeys toward strength, balance, and embodied skill.
Marysia Kochac
Marysia Kochac’s circus career began with a chance encounter with a set of juggling balls at age eight, and they’ve been making objects (and themself) airborne ever since. A graduate of the New England Center for Circus Arts (Spring 2020), Marysia majored in what they affectionately call “upside down and artistic falling.” Since then, they’ve toured with theatrical companies, performed on the streets of New Orleans, and created a solo show that travels the Renaissance faire circuit.
With over a decade of coaching experience, Marysia delights in introducing students to their first acrobatic moments and thrives on working with movers of all ages and skill levels. Their teaching blends technical knowledge, creative exploration, and an enthusiastic curiosity about each student’s process, creating a supportive environment where learning feels both empowering and fun.
