ABOUT ME
As a performance artist, the interaction between myself and another human being is the art. This happens in relationship: between a performer and an audience, between a writer and a reader, between one stranger to another, or even between artists in a collaboration or an exchange.
The difference between the art and the everyday is an element of spectacle or the unexpected, and the filters through which we experience each other and each moment.
Erinina graduated from Sarah Lawrence College in 2005, founded and ran Mir Productions Theatre Company in NYC until 2008, when she started professional training in the aerial arts while continuing her Performance Art Career. She is a professional aerialist, the inventor of the Fire Trapeze, a performance artist and producer, a physical theater lover, a writer, character performer, and more. She has been privileged to work with some very cool people, remarkable projects, and in inspiring environments.
