Megan Cattau

Megan Cattau teaches trapeze and aerial silks classes at Canopy and is also the studio's assistant director. Megan fortuitously stumbled across aerial dance for the first time during one of Canopy's early performances, and she started attending trapeze classes immediately afterward. Apart from a brief period of trapeze class truancy (caused mainly by the flakiness of her early 20's), she has been a permanent fixture at the studio.

Megan enjoys dancing on the single-point trapeze, aerial silks, lyra, duo trapeze, and various invented apparatus, including an aluminum van ladder. She delights in choreographic collaborations of all sorts, with fellow dancers and with other local artists and musicians. She has performed nationally and internationally in dance concerts, festivals, local benefit events, theatrical plays, corporate venues, resorts, and nightclubs.

In her non-aerial life, Megan is a naturalist, this itself showing up in the organic imagery in her oil paintings and in her work with the Upper Oconee Watershed Network. She plans to attend graduate school in 2008, focusing on Environment and Earth Sciences.
