Kadri Hansen is an Estonian aerialist who loves to share parts of her inner self through aerial performances. Kadri is inspired by contrasts and contradictions both in humans and Estonia's nature in different seasons.

At the beginning of 2022, Kadri's first aerial dance film was selected to have its world premiere at the "50th Dance on Camera Festival" in New York, thus combining Kadri's extensive performance background with her studies in film. Having a degree in graphic design and visual communications, she has a great curiosity towards different forms of art and visual storytelling.

Kadri's movement style has been described as organic and deeply emotive. Her acts have often a powerful yet nostalgic feel to them.
 

Kadri has been involved with Circus for most of her life, alongside of being put into music school at the age of 5 where she learnt classical piano for many years. Due to the fact that the circus community is fairly small in a country of 1.3 million people, Kadri's curiosity has taken her to live, train and perform with various companies in Mexico and Canada over the years.

​In August 2021, Kadri was invited to join contemporary Slovakian circus company YOUNAK, which brings together theatre, circus, Slovak folklore and live music. Kadri's personal creations have been showcased at Cirquantique Cabaret in Montreal, she has been the winner of International Zero Gravity Aerial Arts festival, which was focused on artistry. Her most recent work was a  cinematographic aerial silks performance commissioned by Firefly Theatre which was also showcased at the Alberta Contemporary Circus Arts Festival.
