Overview

I’m a contortionist, aerialist who specializes in lyra, silks, hammock, and a fire spinner/flow artist (fire fans, palm torches, led poi, silk fans). As a trained dancer and yogi, my movement involves graceful poise and fluid flexibility, which will inspire and captivate your audience. I love embodying characters and bringing an eccentric, contemporary and exploratory approach.
My Instagram, which features a lot of my work is @tnesis

Absolutely wonderful!

We had the absolute pleasure of hiring Tessa for our child’s birthday party, and WOW — what a show! From the moment the performance began, the kids (and adults!) were completely captivated. The contortionist act was jaw-dropping, with incredible flexibility and grace, while the aerial and fire dance was nothing short of magical — like something out of a fairytale.

Mesmerizing Performer

Tessa's performances are both mesmerizing and captivating. The way she moves is ethereal and breathtaking. She is professional and a pleasure to work with and we will definitely hire her in the future for more events. Highly recommend.
