Arisa Meguro
contortionist - aerialist

Arisa was born in Tokyo and was raised with no exposure to circus. However, inspired by Cirque Du Soleil, at the age of 18 she was motivated to become a circus artist. After graduating from the Sori International Circus School in Japan, she continued her circus formation at l'École de Cirque de Québec in Canada. While in Quebec, Arisa continued to study contorsion, then later added hand-to-hand, aerial hoop and tissu loop to her repertoire. Having a strong interest in contemporary dance and the aesthetics of movement, Arisa also thoroughly enjoys combining circus with other ideas, to create beautiful pieces of performance art.
