Rachel Connors Phillippe
Chairperson
Rachel's journey into circus arts began with a challenge to face her fear of heights. One flying trapeze class later, she was hooked! With nearly twenty years of experience as a student and a coach, Rachel aims to inspire others to take an “I can” approach - both in circus and in life.
When not coaching flying trapeze or training on aerial silks, Rachel can be found working behind the scenes script supervising various film and television projects. Her credits include Emmy winning shows "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" and "Only Murders in the Building," among others.
Rachel holds dual Bachelors degrees in Film & Television Production and Secondary English Education from Boston University. She is based in NYC.
