ABOUT THE ARTISTS:

Genie Cartier (she/they) is a San Francisco native with a background in Chinese acrobatics and aerial rope training. She has performed a unique mix of acrobatics and hand-balancing on a folding chair all over San Francisco and Los Angeles, with companies such as Hubba Hubba Revue, Fishnet Follies, Circus Finelli, Picklewater Clown Festival, Literary Foolery and Machina Candeo. She was the co-creator and star of Genie and Audrey's Dream Show!, an award-winning two-woman circus, which toured fringe festivals in 4 different cities and won the Best of Fringe award in San Francisco. In 2017, she co-founded Bow & Arrow Circus Theatre Collective, a small but mighty company that creates and performs original, high quality circus theater shows in the Bay Area and beyond. Her directorial debut, Dark Side of the Circus, a circus choreographed to Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, toured Mexico and California. Her solo show “the Curve” premiered in January 2023 as part of a residency at San Francisco Circus Center, won the Best of Fringe award at SF Fringe 2023, and was featured at Edinburgh Fringe in 2024.

Landyn Endo (they/he) is a queer, transmasculine-of-center dancer and aerialist, specializing in lyra and silks. He graduated from the University of California, Irvine with a double major in Dance and Drama. Since graduating, he has enjoyed dancing professionally in LA and on tour with Multiplex Dance Company, helping to found the West Hollywood Dance Festival. He also had the opportunity to perform in Europe with DTM2 Improvisational Ensemble, Off-Broadway in NYC, and in Japan in “Dreaming Forward,” an artistic collaboration with choreographer Motoko Hirayama, as well as teaching dance for two years in Grenada. He has been an instructor of circus, dance, and gymnastics for 18 years, and since moving to the Bay Area can be found teaching at the San Francisco Circus Center and VRV3. He has most recently had the honor of performing in Dark Side of the Circus and Saturnalia with Bow and Arrow Circus, and premiering his aerial lamp duet in The Longest Night. Landyn has a deep passion for encouraging queer and trans youth to find their voice through movement and art.

Os Roxas (he/him) spent the early half of his childhood on a US military base in the Philippines playing war games in the jungle. Eventually he would move to San Francisco, spending his days with his face buried in comic books, dreaming of becoming a superhero when he grew up. As an adult, he was introduced to aerial & pole, and now he’s a full time instructor, coaching his students on how to flip and fly into action—turning their own dreams of being a superhero into a reality. Notable performances include Bow & Arrow Circus' Dark Side of the Circus, and the San Francisco Aerial Arts Festival.
