Personal Story
Welcome to my portfolio, where each performance is more than movement, it is a story told from above.
My name is Nerena Venoaks, and I am an 18-year-old aerial hoop artist who finds inspiration in the beauty of cultures, the lessons of history, and the magic of mythical worlds.
Through every act I create, I explore emotions, symbols, and storytelling. Whether drawn from ancient legends, distant lands, or deeply personal moments, my work is a fusion of strength, elegance, and meaning. Aerial hoop is my language, and through it I bring these stories to life.
Here you will find highlights from performances, competitions, and creative projects that reflect not only my technique, but the soul I pour into each creation.
Let yourself be carried into other worlds through movement, emotion, and flight.
Flame Within
Netherlands National Championship may 2025
In this act I channeled the spirit of fire. Bold, alive, and unapologetically present.
The music, rich with rhythms and dramatic intensity, guided every movement and breath. Each motion became a spark, shaped by passion and purpose.
My costume reflected the fire within me. Deep red, gold, and black, alive with every twist in the air.
Stillness became a moment of power. Movement became a flame that danced without consuming. This act is a celebration of passion and strength. It is for every soul who has felt intensity build inside them and chose to let it become beauty.
It is a reminder that fire lives within us, waiting to be seen, waiting to move.

Día de Muerto
Netherlands National Championship juli/ World Championship oktober 2024
In this act I was inspired by the Mexican holiday Día de Muertos, the Day of the Dead.
It is not a day of mourning, but a celebration filled with color, memory, and love. Through aerial movement I paid tribute to those we have lost, showing how they stay alive in our hearts and memories.
I expressed how remembrance can float between life and death, where sorrow and beauty exist side by side.
My costume reflected the richness of the culture, with skeletal designs adorned with vibrant flowers to symbolize life beyond life.
This act is dedicated to anyone who has ever missed someone and still keeps them vividly alive within. 💀🌸


Arabian Nights
Netherlands National Championship June 2024
In this act, I step into the world of Jasmine bold, graceful, and unbound. Set to the haunting beauty of Arabian Nights the piece blends exotic mystique with raw physicality, creating a performance that feels both ancient and alive.
My movement flows between strength and elegance, with spins and holds that mirror the shifting sands of the story’s desert setting. Through each climb and descent, I embody independence, curiosity, and inner fire the spirit of a princess who refuses to be caged.

Cruella the Ville
Netherlands National Championship June/ World Championship oktober 2023
This act is inspired by Cruella not the villain, but the visionary, well maybe a little villanous inside
Set in the world of high fashion, rebellion, and transformation, this performance explores power, control, and bold self-expression. I embody Cruella’s fearless energy with sharp movement, fierce lines, and commanding presence. Every pose is intentional, every transition calculated, like the steps of someone who knows she was never meant to blend in.
The act plays with contrast elegance and chaos, beauty and edge capturing the spirit of a woman who creates her identity on her own terms. This is not just a character. It’s a declaration.

Proud Moments
I’m proud of my performance at the Aerial Hoop World Championship 2024 in Sweden, and of my appearance at the Dutch Nationals 2025, held this past May.
Both moments reflect how far I’ve come — and how much more I’m ready to grow in the years ahead.
My goal now is to bring my aerial art to the stage more often, and to share my passion through powerful, moving performances.
