Aerial Dance

My happy place is the messy intersection where aerial arts mix, melt and merge with dance and physical theatre. I seek a blend of aesthetic force, kinetic poetry and emotive motion in my creations. 
I have travelled the world to learn from other artists and choreographers, participating in residencies, creative laborotories, aerial dance festivals and dancing as a guest artist with A-WOL Aerial Dance Collective. This year I was privileged to teach dance trapee and creative movement alongside some of my mentors at the European Aerial Dance Festival in England.

​

After an impromptu Flamenco performance the age of two I was involved in some sort of dance. Never satisfied with a single style, I tried my hand at everything from ballet to ballroom, latin to flamenco, bollywood to cancan and contemporary/modern dance. I now draw on my experience with all these forms to choreograph aerial dance pieces with both traditional and invented apparatus.

​

In 2014 I trained in a commercial dance course by day and danced with Les Folies De'Lamour by night -  an award winning, Wellington based performance troupe specialising in French Can Can. In addition to Cancan I performed jazz, bollywood, burlesque and Las Vegas style showgirl routines with the troupe.

​

Before moving to the USA I taught the only public Aerial dance class in New Zealand. In 2015 my aerial dance show Between the Lines, debuted to a sell out season at BATS theatre in Wellington. Find out more about Between the Lines here...
