On the Scene Professional aerial performer Michael Lipari calls Hawaii home
almost 6 years in Star Advertiser
Born in California into a family who was “always moving,” Michael Lipari was working for Disney at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles when he met some circus performers and decided to “run away” to Montreal and audition for the National Circus School. Lipari didn’t get into the school but he was able to train with the school’s coaches. That was the first step toward a career as a professional aerial performer and aerial choreographer that has taken him around the world.
