Set list
I can be lenient on what music i perform to.
Influences and inspiration
My first trainer was a ringling brothers clown so i am definitely influenced by traditional circus but I attended a circus school in Germany where i really worked on my contemporary style. I also started my circus journey through social circus as a youth which influenced my love for teaching social and emotional learning through circus arts.
