Progressive Fundamentals of Partner Acrobatics

About the Coach

Shaped by the landscapes of the American West, Stacie Bogle’s work is deeply influenced by the stark deserts of Arizona where she was raised, the verdant forests of Oregon where they came of age, and the sprawling urban ecosystem they now call home in Chicago. The rhythms, textures, and contrasts of these environments inform her movement, inspiring an acrobatic practice that explores resilience, interdependence, and adaptation. Specializing in partner acrobatics and aerial hoop, Stacie creates performances that echo the balance found in nature where strength and softness coexist. A 2024 graduate of Aloft Circus Arts, Stacie approaches circus arts as a way to investigate connection: between bodies, landscapes, and the forces that shape them.
