A bit about me...

I'm an aerialist and dancer currently based in the north east, UK. My specialities are aerial hoop, silks, corde lisse (rope) and trapeze. However, I religiously strive to remain ever versatile so I am also able to perfom spinning web, chinese/dance pole or pretty much anything else that seems worthy of climbing! Ballet, tap and jazz trained, I still have a strong passion for dance. However these days, it seems to be leading me more towards the feathers and spandangles of the showgirl and burlesque scene. I have several aerial pieces which I currently perform, (see my 'acts' page for more details) but I like to work very freely and therefore I am always open to developing new acts to cater for any particular theme or event. I am also a stilt walker/walkabout performer and have many of my own costumes available for bookings. As with aerial, I am always prepared to tailor a costume, or create a new one to fit any theme or event. I work closely with my partner Charlie Carpenter, and together we can offer complimentary walkabout and stilt-walking characters, double aerial acts and cabaret style shows which include clowning and fire. We also teach aerial and general circus skills including outreach workshops, plus weekly and private classes - take a look at the 'Classes & Workshops' pages for full details... Have a look around this site to see more about my work, and please feel free to contact me for more information and enquiries.
