Hans The Contortionist

I’m available for adult and children’s events, offering choreographed sets from 4 - 15 minutes, perfect for parties with a stage and seated audience. For a more interactive experience, I also provide ambient contortion in 15min increments, up to 75min. Ambient performances are ideal for welcoming guests, engaging with the crowd, and elevating the event’s atmosphere as attendees enjoy themselves.

I pride myself on professionalism. Clients can expect a punctual, communicative, and passionate performer. I work closely with each client to understand the needs of their event and tailor my unique talent to elevate the atmosphere. I’m happy bringing your vision to life or helping you discover the one you didn’t know you wanted. My goal is to create memorable, visually stunning experiences that align with your event’s tone and audience.

Originally from New York, I moved to Portland in 2015, and I found the art of contortion. In 2020 I finally located a coach willing to teach me the art of hair suspension immediately fell in love. Since then, I’ve had the pleasure of performing at some of Oregon and Washington's popular events and venues, including the Oregon Country Fair, Seattle Cocktail Week, Dante's Sinferno, The Alberta Rose Theatre, The Crystal Ballroom, The Get Down, Jack London, NovaPDX, along with countless small venues, festivals and private events. I’m available for both children’s and adult entertainment, offering unforgettable performances tailored to any audience.

I have a contortion table for better visibility, if needed it requires about 5'x5' of space
To book a hair suspension act, either a hard point or structural beams are necessary for rigging. A site visit is likely required prior to, to make sure it's possible to perform safely.
Please provide a private space for me to change and warm up.
