Circus Bio
Starting my circus career at NICA (National Institute of Circus Arts) my background had been recreational gymnastics. During my first year I started specializing in two main areas, eventually finding that they complemented each other well.

The First: and easiest to take with me is ground contortion. Contortion is an acrobatic art that involves a performer bending their body into hyper-flexible, extraordinary positions. The easy of is move ability is that all I need is some make-up, a costume and a place to perform. My only prop is me.

The Second: which is a much bigger thing both in prop size but performance size too. Tissu, the French word for material, also know as silks or ribbons, is performed in the air, the apparatus made from a length of fabric (folded in half) comes in various colours and with varying amounts of stretch. You climb up and down the fabric, wrapping sections around the body to hang, drop and slide during a performance.

Nearing the end of my first year I gave my first performance. With a group of students from NICA, who all ranged in skills and levels, we gave a performance in one of the conference rooms at Crown Casino. Along with another girl, we performed on the beautiful and graceful tissu. This act was in conjunction with other acts to create a dynamic picture on stage.

My next performance was the end of year show, a show that always seems to be bettering and preceding the last (end of year show at NICA). Since then I have had many performances including -:

*My Secret Circus, Myer Corporate Event (2003) [tissue and contortion]

Ariel Acts

Tissu - Silks
Commonly also known as Tissue, this apparatus is made from two lengths of fabric with varying amounts of stretch.
The performer is able to enthrall, climbing up and down the fabric, wrapping sections around and around their body arms and legs to create the effect of tumbling falls and beautiful positions down the length of the fabrics.

This apparatus is one of the most exceptional to watch, its smooth silky look gives the routine a lavish feel and the act is characterized by courageous drops and seemingly impossible suspensions.

Tissu: 2x 5 minute acts on the night (an act can be up to 10 mins)

Rigger: Rigging and pulling down of equipment on the night will be needed for this act.


Contortion

An acrobatic art that involves a performer bending their body into hyper-flexible, extraordinary positions.
