Introducing Michelle Chang who will be joining us for the cast of DREAM!

Michelle is a Bay-Area-bred performer and multi-instrumentalist who discovered Mongolian contortion during the pandemic. With its combination of athleticism and artistry, the circus arts has offered a natural avenue in which to combine her varied background in artistic gymnastics, dance, pole, and wushu. While currently based in Seattle, circumstances have conspired to land her back in the Bay for a spell. Michelle is so excited to share the art of contortion with the wider public, and to be performing again with old colleagues and new. When not contorting herself, she can be found working on biohybrid systems for sustainability and banging away on the piano.
