Aerial Fabric at Carnivale
I'm a Chicago based aerialist, acrobat, and stilt walker with 8 years of performing experience. Ask me about performing silly partner acrobatics for your community parade or festival! I’d love to add a touch of elegance to your wedding or special event with ambient aerial silks. I have choreographed stage numbers on aerial straps and partner acrobatics if you’re looking for something unforgettable.
I own and rent a freestanding aerial rig manufactured by Circus Gear that is available for performances in outdoor places and indoor spaces that do not have structural rigging capabilities. The footprint is 20’ X 20’ and the maximum height is 24’.

August 7, 2024Lou was a hit from the start with our National Outlet Shopping Day shoppers, even wearing a rainbow outfit to match our theme colors! Took lots of pics, danced with the crowd to the DJs beats, told shoppers where to go to get signed up for the free tote bags. Would definitely recommend!

July 27, 2024Lou, was very responsive and communicative ahead of the event to make sure we were on the same page of what we were looking for and during the event. They were engaging and energetic making it easy for party goers to approach and interact for conversation and pictures. If I am hosting another event that Lou’s skills would compliment, I would not hesitate to hire them again!!

August 2, 2023Lou was hands down the best choice for a stiltwalker at our Pride festival! So talented & professional with a big, fun heart to match! Communication was excellent through the entire planning process, including the day of the fest. Lou picked out a great costume that matched the theme of our festival, and even added a special touch by clipping our promo giveaway items to their belt to hand out to attendees! They added such a positive and fun vibe to our event. Can’t wait to hire Lou again next year!

I am an energetic and character-driven performer with a passion for bringing your vision to life. I am available for corporate and artistic work for private and community events, as well as ambient and parade performances. I look forward to creating with you!
I am an aerialist and stiltwalker who has trained and performed in locations around the US and South America since 2013. I love theatrical circus work and connecting with audiences on an emotional level in addition to the spectacle of physical acrobatics. I currently live in Chicago, IL where I perform locally and coach at Chicago Center for Dynamic Circus and MSA & Circus Arts.
For aerial performances with structural rigging, I require an OSHA certified rigger. For outdoor aerial performance or indoor spaces with 15-28+ foot ceilings, I have a freestanding rig with a 20'x20' footprint that can be rented for an additional fee and require the event planner to provide one additional person for set up.
For stilting performances, I have my own drywall and peg stilts.
