Ari Levanael.
Already just looking at this amazing man is a show by itself. Ari is a
man of many talents. As a respected and accomplished artist he has
performed throughout Australia, Asia and Europe. This year alone he has
wowed audiences in Ireland, Italy, Spain, Turkey and the U.K. Ari
Levanael is an aerial circus artist, having dazzled many at renowned
festivals like Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland, the Storas,
Ibsen, Jessheim and Moon Festivals in Norway, Glastonbury Festival in
the UK and the befamed grand opening of the Four Seasons Hotel in Hong
Kong. But Ari is so much more than that alone.
Ari Levanael
was born in Sydney on an April morning, the youngest of three children.
Growing up in the suburbs of Sydney, he enjoyed a healthy upbringing
with parent that encouraged him into a lot of sports and martial arts.
At 5 Ari was a fanatic gymnast, adding judo at the age of 7 and Kung Fu
at 11 to that. BY the time he was 15, Ari was of the best gymnasts at
high school and did as much sports as he possibly could do.
Ari grew up being a very sensitive child. He loved being in nature,
surrounded by animals, and developed a strong interest in the mystical
and supernatural side of life from a very early age. When he was 13, he
got his firs deck of Tarot cards from his mother which he used to read
for his friends at school. He loved the spiritual and it wouldn’t be
long before he got involved with crystals and developed an interest in
paganism and Wicca.
It was at his first job – at the Sydney Theater Company - after
graduation that Ari got inspired by the performing arts. With friends
he started to develop his own choreographies and shows, often involving
unusual elements like fire, water and acrobatics. His shows were always
sensual, ritualistic and sometimes a bit dangerous, and eventually
evolved in aerial performances. “With my years of gymnastic and
martial art training coming together to blend well with the aerial
work, I felt as though I was like a duck to water,” explains Ari. “Finally
doing something I loved and was inspired by. Something to push my
creative and physical boundaries. Something I felt completely natural
doing.” Ari found his calling and moved from Sydney to Byron Bay in
Northern NSW. Further developing his physical skills, he also connected
with a group of spiritual people it was in Byron Bay that Ari also
developed a much stronger sense for nature and the supernatural.
Besides perfecting his performance arts he found true fulfillment in
teaching others in the physical arts and the rewarding sensation of
being an inspiration for others.

Levanael has left Australia long ago to settle down in London which is
now his home base from where he continually embarks on an everlasting
quest to perform and share his knowledge that brings him all over the
world. In addition to his great physical and spiritual skills, his
fabulous aerial performances and choreographies, Ari also started to
compose music and put his more sensitive thoughts and interests in
words by writing poetry. Besides that his has developed a great
interest in photography which he now explores by appearing in front of
the camera from many renowned photographers, but for sure, knowing how
driven this talented man is, he will soon also start doing his own
shootings. “I love meeting people over the world, creative people,
and beautiful people, people with stories to tell. I’m open to all
kinds of experiences.” Ari Levanael goes with the wind. –B-
