ANNOUNCEMENT FROM HOUSE OF CELLISTA
House of Cellista is proud to welcome two new artists-in-residence for the summer season: Rita and Cheyenne. Their collaborative residency marks a bold exploration of the space between circus and science—where fantasy, rigor, and performance collide.
Rita is a static trapeze and aerial chains artist who creates transportive, emotionally charged work that invites all audiences into a shared dreamscape. A graduate of NECCA’s ProTrack Program, her practice is rooted in accessibility and wonder.
Cheyenne holds a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology from Utah Tech University. With experience in both research and teaching, she brings a sharp, creative perspective to how we understand and communicate science.
Their first public offering, Sparkle Cirque, takes place July 4th at House of Cellista. This salon-style performance features special guest artist Cassie Catania, whose aerial work adds another layer of brilliance to the evening. Cassie will also be offering professional massage services during the event by donation.
Sparkle Cirque is the first of many events to come from this residency. Join us as we begin a summer of experimentation, conversation, and genre-defying performance.
