Zoë Isadora Heywood
Zoë Isadora is proud to carry forward the excellence and joy of her family legacy in circus arts. She blends technical precision, intuitive flow and seamless dancing on multiple apparatuses: aerial silks, dance trapeze, aerial hoop, and more! Each sequence she performs is a fluid, expressive conversation with the apparatus that is unmistakably her own.
Zoë experienced a unique performance upbringing, growing up on circus backlots, balancing swords on her head dancing with her mother and grandmother, and a lifelong training in both stage craft and behind-the-scenes technicalities. An honor’s graduate of Wellesley College, she has toured around the U.S. with The Wallenda Family Circus, Westchester Circus Arts, Cirque Dreams, Les Farfadais and Airotic Cirque Soirée as well as performed at corporate contracts and cabarets around Europe including Athens, the Azores and Paris.
Zoë is also a sought-after coach and creative entrepreneur, with over 15 aerial manuals and choreography decks used by aerialists worldwide.

Aerial Hoop Solo
Zoë’s first aerial love was Lyra. She has been performing on the aerial hoop since the age of 11 - first a duet with her mother, and then solo performances from age 14 at a local restaurant. Since then she has flown with her hoop all across the US!
Her movement blends with the lyra to create a never-ending stream of fluid movements, spins and splits that will leave any audience mesmerized.
