| | | Thrive Movement Studio opened in the summer of 2014 and is a dream come true for performance artists and partners Heidi Kirchofer & Joel Melendez. It represents years of dreaming and scheming and lots of hard work by Heidi, Joel and Heidi's father Charles Kirchofer. The studio was designed and built almost completely by the trio. It was constructed with local wood milled by Charles and finished with eco-conscious products and materials.
Heidi and Joel have been performing, training and teaching together since 2000 and run their own entertainment production company, Matica Arts. After many years of performing and and teaching all over the place (and world), Heidi and Joel are thrilled to have a home studio in which to train and share their passions with their local community. Thrive Movement Studio offers a high-quality training space for Connecticut residents to explore the beauty and thrill of circus led by instructors and programs that promote safe progressions and entryways for beginners. Classes at Thrive increase self-confidence, body positivity and awareness while building physical strength, flexibility and an awesome new skillset.
