I am a professional pair figure skater and an aerialist on ice, performing in international ice shows around the world. My career has been shaped by two disciplines that now coexist at the core of my artistic identity, pair skating, rooted in the ice I grew up on, and aerial work, developed through years of training in circus arts and refined on ice.

This édito explores how these two paths gradually came together, not as a planned strategy, but through experience, necessity, and creative choice. It is a reflection on movement as a language, on how a performer adapts when circumstances shift, and on how identity can evolve without abandoning its foundations. Beyond technique, this article looks at the process of building a hybrid artistic practice, where skating and aerial work inform one another, and where performance becomes both a profession and a way of living.

I share this story to offer context to a discipline that remains largely unknown, aerial work on ice, and to shed light on the realities behind professional performance, the training, the uncertainty, and the long-term commitment it requires. This edito opens the door to the path that shaped me as an artist, between ice and air.
