Elli Huber  aerialist - circus artist - singer
 

Born in Australia, Elli Huber is now an internationally acclaimed aerialist and singer specialising in swinging trapeze, having trained at a world class level under coach Victor Fomine in Montreal.

Starting out as a child on-screen actor with a background in dance and music, she has over 25 years’ experience working professionally in the entertainment industry, 10 years of which she has spent performing and touring as an aerial acrobat and singer all across Europe, Canada, USA, Asia and Australia.

Mixing her two passions, she is a unique artist - one of the few in the world who specialises in singing aerials, combining live vocals whilst performing aerial acrobatics on either dance trapeze, swinging trapeze or aerial hoop. Whilst she is a versatile artist, her main performance style lends itself to a sultry, powerful and alluring nature, bringing her contagious energy and vibrance to the stage wherever she goes.

Elli has performed with prestigious companies as a solo artist including America’s Big Apple Circus at New York’s Lincoln Centre, Australia’s Silver's Circus and Circus Rio, Mexico's Circo Atayde, Carnival Cruises touring the South Pacific, Pacha - Sydney,  Swiss Dream Circus in both Canada & Malaysia, Zirkus Mond in Berlin, New York’s Hideaway Circus, Italy’s Le Cirque, Zippos Circus Winter Wonderland in London, Cirque Starlight touring Switzerland, Festival Arte Migrante in Italy and Germany’s Dinner For Fun.

Her education expands from attending Aerialize - Sydney Aerial Theatre in Australia, to The Beijing International Arts School in China and Ecole Leotard in Montreal, Canada. In 2010, she completed a Bachelor of Arts degree in Fine Arts at The University of Sydney, majoring in sculpture & performance. She has also gone on to complete a set and costume design course in Sydney at the National Institute of Dramatic Arts (NIDA). Most of her costumes are of her own creation.

In 2010 at the Sydney Festival, showing over 250 productions, Elli was part of a team that won ‘The Sydney Festival Award for outstanding Independent Artist’ as well as winning ‘The Bytecraft Exceptional Achievement Award in Production and Design.’ Later, in 2015, she won the Aerial Allstars circus arts competition coming first place in Australia & New Zealand. In 2017 she received a Bronze Medal as well as a special juror's choice award from the Australian Circus Festival. She also appeared in Germany’s got Talent in 2020 where she was asked to go directly to the finals of the competition for her one-of-a-kind vocal aerial cube act.

Elli has also worked alongside some of the world’s most distinguished companies in entertainment in the corporate world, such as Foxtel, Tony & Guy, YouTube, Bvlgari, Toyota and Sony, consulting, choreographing and performing for clients internationally. Also working in television, she has appeared in shows such as X-Factor, Australia’s next top model and many TVC commercials like the V8 Supercars featuring pop artist Pink.
