Zoë Isadora (Wellesley College, ‘22) is a third-generation circus artist. She first appeared in the circus ring when she was 9 months old in Circus Flora. Zoë has performed with The Flying Wallendas, Westchester Circus Arts, Airotic Soirée and in various productions around the world, including Las Vegas, New York and Paris. She is also head aerial coach and manager of her family’s circus school Moody Street Circus.
Through a unique performance upbringing & the guidance and teaching of her mother Melina of Daughters of Rhea and step-father Alexandre Sacha Pavlata, Zoë now imbues the spirit of the circus world in her own aerial feats. Dubbed the “Aerial Dolphin” for her graceful flows and seamless dancing with any apparatus, her work is strong, elegant and enchanting.
