Overview

With long, elegant limbs and extreme flexibility, I create one mesmerizing shape after another. My style is slow and eccentric, drawing the audience in with an alluring smile and a touch of sass. Each performance leaves viewers captivated, balancing fascination with a sense of eerie allure.

Booking information

Price range: $250 and up

What to expect

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.

About

Originally from New York, I moved to Portland in 2015, and I immediately fell in love with the art of contortion. Since then, I’ve had the pleasure of performing at some of Portland’s most iconic venues, including the main stage at Oregon Country Fair, The Alberta Rose Theatre, The Crystal Ballroom, The Get Down, Dante’s, Jack London, Bossanova Ballroom, and The Velvet Rope, as well as countless private events. I’m available for both children’s and adult entertainment, offering unforgettable performances tailored to any audience.
