Lyla Goldman is an aerial and unicycle artist. Born in Seattle, she learned to unicycle at the age of five, before she’d even touched a bicycle. From there she found SANCA, the School of Acrobatics and New
Circus Arts, where she performed with the youth performance company Cirrus Circus for ten years.
After spending two summers touring with Circus Smirkus she decided to pursue circus professionally
and moved halfway across the world to attend SaSak Circus School in Lahti, Finland. After graduating with degrees in aerial silks and unicycle she founded the contemporary circus company Kanta Company with two classmates. She has spent the last few years creating shows and performing around Europe and has now returned to Seattle to pursue circus closer to home.
