Aidan O'Shay
Circus coach / New York
Born in NY, raised in SF Aidan's life is a study in serendipity. At 13 he began studying with Master Lu-Yi of Nanjing acrobatic fame; a fluke of universal timing. Lu-Yi had been hired to train a local circus, his contract stipulated 2 things " ....my Daughters get to go to U.C. Berkeley, and I get 12 kids to train acrobatics"
|
- O'shea was one of the oldest chosen. At 13 he was debatably past his prime for starting already, but an uncanny Teacher\Student connection made Lu-Yi reconsider.
After 15 years in the Circus, Aidan moved to NY and earned a Masters degree in Acting from the New School while performing and beginning to teach his passion for the mind body spirit connection to anyone who would take class from him.
Aidan combines the basic foundations of Acrobatics, the Alexander Technique, Yoga, Meditative visualization, and breath work to get at something ultimately very basic and profound: how to become intimately and actively connected to yourself through your body. |
