Meet Sable

From the age of three, Sable has been a lover of movement. Her early forays into Irish dance and tangley swingset choreography inspired her to pursue a dual education in Cecchetti ballet and release technique modern dance at Northwest School of the Arts. When a twisted ankle paused Sable’s dance career in 2016, her insatiable desire to move led her to the fantastical world of aerial. Already a fan of upside-down-ness and heights, she has an endless hunger for silks, sling, and rope, but her most particular passion lies in spinning and slithering on a lyra. Gifted with a mercurial presence, Sable can fill a room with bone-deep dolor, glitteringest charm, or visceral malevolence with the turn of a wrist. Her work is omnivorous in its interests, most often drawing from deep oceans of personal memory, invented mythologies, and an obsession with movement theory. Her work speaks to those who appreciate the duality of beauty and violence that colors human existence.

Since moving back to her hometown of Charlotte, Sable has fallen in love with the Cirque Du Biere troupe, where she has found deeply-felt community and created some of her all-time favorite acts. When she isn’t twirling in the air or shimmying on the ground, Sable works in her garden, sews costumes from scratch, reads tarot and runes, or pursues whatever crafty passion has called to her that week. Sable can be found teaching regular aerial hoop classes and the occasional four-week series (usually focused on her particular specialty, spinning) at her home studio, Bloom Movement Artistry.
