Biography

Kae Burke is an artist and performer who loves exploring play and character through circus arts. She is a co-founder of House of Yes and Lady Circus.

Anya Sapozhnikova fell head over heals in love with aerial acrobatics after taking her second silks class in Brooklyn. Since embracing this art form eight years ago, she has studied every traditional aerial apparatus and has invented some of her own. From 2008-2013, Anya co-founded, and was the artistic director of, House of Yes Theater and its aerial facility Sky Box in East Williamsburg. 

Elena is a performer and board member of the House of Yes, and the co-director of Sky Box aerial arts studio. She regularly performs all over New York City – from corporate events to underground parties to nightlife fixtures such as The Slipper Room and The Box NYC. Her original aerial work has been seen in off-Broadway productions by the Rachel Klein ensemble, Eric Schmallenberger, The Constellation Moving company, and of course, the House of Yes, to name a few. As an aerial instructor she draws on her many years of performance experience, her background in theater, and her certification in Pilates to help students achieve proper technique and a refined, individual style in a safe and fun environment. She believes that anyone can be a circus star in the making!
