Heather Michele Meyer (she/her) is a career artist and multifarious human with decades of experience in classical vocal performance, stage acting, aerial arts, and the business of wine.
After going to school for vocal performance in both Santa Barbara and San Francisco, she moved to New York City in 2005, where she studied circus arts at The Muse Brooklyn, Circus Warehouse and Aerial Arts NYC. In recent years, she has also trained extensively at NECCA, and with Paper Doll Militia.
As a soprano in the operatic world, Heather made her professional debut in 1998 and since 2014, she has focused almost exclusively on the works of living composers. Her solo performances took her to venues as varied as National Sawdust, The Joyce Theater, and the Park Avenue Armory. She has also sung on the stages of Carnegie Hall, the NY State Theater, and with the NY Philharmonic as a professional chorister.
Within her circus artistry, Heather explores multi-disciplinary collaborations, including the immersive show, The Tiger’s Bride, combining theater, aerial silks, and folk singing. She has debuted aerial singing pieces with both New Camerata Opera at Dixon Place, and Circus Moxie at Brooklyn Art Haus, and was also granted a 2024 residency with Hupstate Circus and the Saltonstall Foundation to develop her one woman show, which will debut in 2025.
She enjoys motivating students of all ages to discover what their bodies are capable of with focused work in strength, mobility, and a lot of pure enjoyment. You can also find more about her work at www.heathermichelemeyer.com.
