Sarah Patrinellis
Aerial Artist & Performer
Bio
Sarah is a strength-based aerial artist that thrives in both a solo, duo & collaborative group setting. She started her performance journey with Aerial Arts Hawaii on the Big island from 2016-2018, and furthered her career when she moved to the mainland to pursue a professional training program with AWOL-Dance.
With over a decade of technique training to draw from, combined with a passion for act creation, choreography & musicality, she applies her skillset to nearly any aerial apparatus she can get her hands on. Currently, she teaches at 3+ studios in Portland, Oregon & loves to share the empowering movement practice of aerial to others through lessons, workshops, retreats and performance.
