Biography

Mitchell is a Circus Artist specializing in Aerial Hoop, with secondary disciplines in Aerial Net, Rope, Straps, Dance, Adagio, and Acrobatics. Raised in Calgary, he developed a passion for creativity and being upside down before moving to Vancouver in 2019 to attend a post-secondary circus program.

Graduating in 2022, he was immediately contracted with Carnival Cruise Lines as an aerial swing and returned in 2023 as lead male aerialist and aerial captain. During this time, Mitchell discovered a love for Aerial Hoop, creating an act that earned him a 2024 audition with Cirque du Soleil, and a contract with Virgin Voyages / les 7 doigts. In 2025 Mitchell performed in the Alberta Circus Festival, Salieri Circus Award in Italy, and a US tour on ‘Cirque Dreams Holidaze’ with V-Star Ent and Cirque du Soleil.

Other companies he has performed with include; The Calgary Stampede, Le Cirque de la Nuit, NZR Productions, and been a guest artist in multiple queer events and mental health fundraisers in Canada. Mitchell has always been a deeply creative individual with complex ideas and the amazing ability to dive into a project and always put his full heart and body into it. When he's not in the air, you can probably find him cafe hopping with his laté and journal, and a podcast.
