Spy Girl
Debauched Ascent
I've performed aerial in Dubai, Mexico, Korea, and the United States in a wide range of performances - from raves and nightclubs to concert dance to special events. Companies that I've performed with include Dzul Dance, White Wave Dance Comapny, Lehrer Dance, Ballet Inc., Encounters Dance, and Phoenix Entertainment. With my partner David McManamon I perform lyra and silk duo acts.
Apparatuses that I perform on include silks, lyra, hammock (single and double point), as well as non-traditional creations.
Creating custom acts is a specialty of mine; my work includes a spy-themed act for a themed launch party, a 1920's-inspired act for a wedding, en pointe and in the air for collaborations with ballet companies, and original acts for the bands Cordis and Huff This. My extensive ballet and contemporary dance background enhances my aerial work, and I am a strong improvisor.
In my personal work I seek to blur the lines between the air and the floor.
