Daniela Essart is the co-founder and artistic director of Scarabeus Aerial Theatre since 1988 and has created visually arresting and transformative performances, side by side to  stage to screen films. Scarabeus work merges aerial skills with visual theatre and choreographed movement. We conjure into existence thought provoking productions dealing with contemporary narratives, aimed at awakening empathy and ethical consciousness in a wide range of audiences and viewers.  Daniela believes in the transformative power of the arts, in creating experiences that endure in the collective imagination and promote a sense of belonging.  Fearless about experimentation, she regularly collaborates with a wide range of established and up and coming artists, filmmakers and scientists from different fields.      @theatreartlife Thank you to our sponsor @clear-com The TheatreArtLife Podcast is a branch of our larger TheatreArtLife Community.
