Hello. Pleasure to have you see me on Gig Salad. Currently I am performing full time in a Las Vegas show. I have performed with Quixotic Fusion at corporate events (for companies such as Blue Cross Blue Shield, and opening for singer song-writer Jewel), and at large festival's main stage including South By Southwest in Austin, TX and Electric Forest in Rothbury, MI. My thrill to entertain is also found in an intimate setting performing with MoonDrop Circus at public events and Circus Week. I have also proven to be a hit at backyard parties and private events for people of all ages!

I am able to perform (and have the equipment for) the following air apparatuses: static trapeze, dance trapeze, lyra, silks.

I am able to perform the following on the ground: hand balancing, fire dance (fans and orb), fire eating, acrobatics/contortion, charactering, living statue.

Environmental requirements for aerial apparatuses:

**"ceiling height" refers to the rigging point. I can further discuss rigging requirements and how I rig my equipment. The union recommends whatever I rig on be able to handle 5000 pounds of force (though, even with my largest drops I only produce up to 1000 pounds of force).

- Static Trapeze - ceiling height of 15 - 25', ground space 8x8 (just enough for a landing space), requires 2 separate points to rig, vs the remaining aerial apparatuses only require 1 rig point. Static Trapeze is a traditional circus apparatus rigged high showcasing powerful swings and drops to ankles!

- Dance Trapeze - ceiling height 10 - 20', large ground space 10x10 or larger. Dance Trapeze is seen in the "new circus" with strong dance aesthetic, lower to the ground allowing the dancer to leap, circle and spin with the apparatus.

- Lyra - ceiling height 10 - 20', ground space 8x8 for landing. Lyra is a circle in the air accommodating for contortion acrobatics, spins and dynamic drops.

- Silks - ceiling height 15 - 30', ground space 8x8 or larger. Silks are what most people imagine when I say I am an aerialist. Silks are accommodating to most spaces with acts including swinging, spinning, and large vertical drops.

These environmental requirements are somewhat flexible, and the theme of the event heavily inspires the acts performed on any apparatus.

Ground acts may be performed on a small stage (pod) or amongst the crowd pending event details.
