Acrobat and musician
Minnesota native Shena Tschofen attended an arts high school where she discovered a passion for dance, choreography and photography. She studied dance at the University of Minnesota before moving to Montreal to attend the National Circus School (NCS). She graduated with a specialization in Cyr wheel and developed acrobatic/dance lasso as a unique subspecialty. Complementing her circus and dance background, Shena has studied classical violin and traditional fiddle music for over fifteen years. In addition, she creates conceptual photographs that often include images of acrobats in motion. Her work can be found illustrating websites and in print material around the world.
