Ariadna Vendelová | performing artist

Ariadna Vendelová is an aerial dancer, performer and teacher from Slovakia. Over the last 15 years, she has performed in a variety of shows and her original creations throughout Europe, while developing an authentic movement language on aerial silks, as well as a unique methodology of teaching aerial dance.
Her work is deeply influenced by nature, ecology and motherhood. On the boundaries between dance and new circus, her creations range from site-specific urban experiments, through theatrical works, to dances in natural enviroments. She speaks about intimate and personal themes as well as about abstract concepts in a way which intertwines performance, circus and dance art with mysticism, ritual and communal experience.
