About the Artist
Tera "SUPERNOVA" Zarra is a strongwoman, acrobat, aerialist, and comedian. She brings high-level stunts to the stage along with a heartfelt message of empowerment and the celebration of individuality.
Teaching Philosophy
Dedication to your dreams outweighs the myth of "natural talent." Even if students are starting small with bringing more athleticism and health into their lives, Tera believes that ALL EFFORT deserves to be celebrated.
Testimonial
Supernova the Strongwoman was exactly what our second through fourth graders needed! Her engaging and interactive performance had students and adults laughing and participating throughout an entire 50 minutes. I'd recommend this performance to any school.
Program Description
Assemblies of students laughing, gasping, and cheering so hard that they are left gasping for breath is one of Supernova's favorite parts of working with Arts for Learning NW!
Trained by Cirque du Soleil coaches in Montreal, Quebec, our internationally-touring Circus Strongwoman calls local Beaverton, Oregon home!
The Circus Spectacular melds a message of empowerment, dedication to practice and adventures of the road, with physics defying circus stunts. Supernova spins a narrative of discovery that leads to decision making and growth. The story that emerges from this is one of learning through exploration, the gift of facing challenges and the guidance of teachers and collaborators. Audiences will leave knowing anything is possible- even rolling up a metal frying pan!
Supernova's highly-interactive, Steel-bending, Hoverboard-handstanding spectacle invites multiple students to share stage with her, and to make vital contributions that shape the arc of the performance itself.
The students are saying:
"There is literally no one who has inspired me more!" - Macauley Baker (high school athlete)
The teachers are saying:
"Her strength of spirit matches her muscle strength! I was impressed with how much she involved the students and really listened to what they were asking. We can't wait to bring her back!" - Heather Pearl (Cedarwood Waldorf School)
Best time to book is November, December, January. Maximum audience size may be altered with an agreement from the artist.
