CLAIRE MANN
DEPARTMENT CHAIR
Claire is a seasoned aerial and flying trapeze performer with over ten years of experience in the circus arts. She began her movement journey in rhythmic gymnastics at the age of ten, transitioning into circus at fifteen when she joined Les Aerielles, an all-aerial troupe performing throughout the Bay Area.
Claire has been flying for the past nine years, getting her start at Trapeze Arts in Oakland before joining Circus Center in San Francisco, where she is now the Head of the Flying Trapeze Department. Known for her precision, coaching style, and passion for the flying trapeze community, she brings both technical expertise and creative energy to her leadership role.
While studying at university, Claire directed a competitive dance team and performed extensively. After graduating, she returned to the circus world to direct the youth troupe at Trapeze Arts, where she discovered a love for teaching and mentorship.
During the pandemic, Claire expanded into the world of film, discovering a passion for storytelling through production. She has since produced a number of independent and student films, including her first major short, which she also wrote and directed.
Today, Claire works as a freelance producer, circus coach, and production manager for People’s Circus. Whether she’s on set or flying through the air, her work is grounded in creativity, collaboration, and a deep love for performance.
