Amanda Elson has been teaching with Echo Theater Co since 2018, and her favorite apparatuses are silks, sling, and trapeze. She has been training, performing, and teaching circus arts and aerial dance since 2013. She currently performs with Prismagic, a Portland local circus troupe.

Before moving to Portland, Amanda performed with and co-directed Circus Bacchus and Flagstaff Aerial Arts in Flagstaff, AZ from 2014-2018. Amanda is a certified aerial instructor after completing NECCA/ Nimble Art’s Intro to Aerial Teacher Training. She has a master's degree in counseling and works full time in the education field, both of which shine through in her aerial teaching.
