About Me

Elena Brocade, a soulful aerialist based in Chicago, offers passionate performances with graceful, charismatic choreography infused with strength. In tune with the human experience, she embellishes her deeply emotive, lyrical acts with character-based narratives, often designing accompanying music herself. She’s particularly interested in linking pride, ecstasy, despondence, ardor, and vulnerability to movement, distilling intangibles to their essences, imparting emotions in artful, fantastical dance. From wide-eyed, frolicking circus-type performances to dark, somber routines to ethereal nymph-like acts, Elena’s well-versed and elastic, currently maintaining seven different acts on four apparatuses, including her duo lyra act "A Mobile Lullaby" featured in the upcoming feature film Cirque du Freak.In 2002 she started her training on trapeze under New Orleans’ lead aerialist, Raven Hinojosa of Aurora Aerial. Two years later she expanded her knowledge to Spanish web, silks, hoop, bungee, partner choreography, and ground acrobatics with Aloft Aerial Dance founder Shayna Swanson, and began performing publicly for corporate events. Elena soon became a key member of Aurora Aerial and Aloft Aerial Dance.Elena’s effective as a soloist and a collaborator, and has experience constructing full-length productions such as Rolling Blackouts (2005). She’s been featured in theaters, nightclub and casino events, conventions, fashion shows, outdoor festivals, college ceremonies, and private parties throughout the United States, and recently traveled to Shanghai to partake in the Kim Tom International Clown Festival. She’s skillful, sophisticated, and dynamic, engaging the mind along with the eye, and is available for circuses, conventions, film, and traveling or stationary productions as well as corporate and private functions.
