Heidi Kirchofer
A performing and teaching artist since 2000, Heidi has traveled internationally performing, collaborating and training. She is inspired by the moving body and it's vast capabilities. She loves the synthesis of creativity and physicality that circus explores. Circus, movement and aerials for her are creative outlets, a medium for healing the body and building strength, working though vulnerabilities and moving forward. As a teacher she focuses on alignment, building strength and flexibility and finding one's creative voice.
She has studied various aerial apparatus at the New England Center for Circus Arts since 2007- with so many amazing coaches- Jamie Hodgson, Lauren Breuning, Caroline Wright, Amy Hancock, Elsie & Serenity Smith and many more. She has also done Aerial Teacher Training with Nimble Arts as well as various rigging and safety classes. She is particularly interested in alignment, technique and longevity of physicality. She studies bio-mechanics and anatomy for fun. She has completed Yoga Teacher Trainings in Power Yoga and Taoist Yoga

Heidi is also co-founder of the touring duo, Matica Arts, whose focus is on Circus. Matica can be found performing at many festivals, events, and schools in the North East. see: maticaarts.com


Thrive Movement Studio opened in the summer of 2014 and is a dream come true for Heidi Kirchofer Joel Melendez. It represents years of dreaming and scheming by the dynamic duo and lots of hard work by Heidi, Joel and Heidi's father Charles Kirchofer.
