After years of competitive gymnastics, Clara found circus in high school at the San Diego Circus Center. What was suppose to be a hobby quickly turned into a passion as she tried everything she could: teeterboard, trapeze, Russian bar, hand to hand, handstands, and aerial straps.

 

Following a brief one-year detour at the University of California, Berkeley, Clara decided to take the leap to pursue a career in circus, attending the National Circus School in Montreal, where she graduated in 2021 as an aerial straps specialist, with training in static trapeze and Russian cradle. While at school she discovered the freedom of the creative and artistic aspects of circus, and found her own style, combining dynamic classical straps technique and personal technical vocabulary in order to communicate through movement.

 

In 2023, she joined Vol au vent, the first female Korean teeterboard group to graduate from the NCS. Since then, she has performed internationally under the name with Lilyclaire Major.

 

In addition to performing, Clara enjoys coaching circus, having coached for the San Diego Circus Center, the NCS, and privately.
