Acts
Below are the current acts I have available for touring. Get in touch if you'd like to hire me to perform.
Pluto
Pluto is a roller skating trapeze act that takes the audience on a journey following dwarf planet Pluto, as she is betrayed by the science community, cast out by the other planets and told she isn't considered a "real" planet anymore. This act is a melodramatic tale of isolation and exclusion, at times comedic, at times surprisingly touching, but ultimately dizzying, sparkly and fun!
Check out the video here.
This act was originally performed for the Melbourne Fringe Festival season as part of Circus De Licious by Express Move ME.
Requirements: Flat floor - wood or concrete are great. Tarkett not so much. A rigging point - two points are ideal but if only one is available the prop can be set up on a stand on the stage.

Electric Love
This act combines tumbling (floor acrobatics) with roller skating. Electric Love is about a tale as old as time; an unrequited love story between a mosquito and a bug zapper.
Check out the video here.
This act was originally developed under the direction of Kate Fryer for the Women*s Circus Cabaret 'Pride and Possibilities' 2023.
Requirements: Flat floor - wood or concrete are great. Tarkett not so much. A rigging point is a bonus (to hang a prop, or if possible bear the weight of a person). Otherwise the prop can be set up on a stand on the stage.

Safety First
This is a clowning trapeze act about a building surveyor who is a passionate about safety and somewhat scared of heights. It is a very silly act with some gentle audience interaction at the start and plenty of slapstick and physical comedy throughout.
Check out the video here.
This act was originally developed under the direction of Malia Walsh for the Women*s Circus Cabaret 'Braver than a Bear' 2024.
Requirements: A long crash mat. A rigging point.
