Aerial circus acts.
I perform aerial rope (corde lisse) and sling (hammock). I have two rope acts and two sling acts but can also make bespoke acts on either apparatus (or a combination of both). If your venue or event doesn’t have aerial rigging capacity, I also have a freestanding aerial rig that can be set up indoors or outdoors. Please contact me to book or with any enquiries about technical requirements.
Tongue in Cheek.
A bittersweet act about the fragile human behind the superhuman circus façade. An attention-seeking aerialist performs the same cabaret act night after night, hungry for the audience admiration she craves but which is never enough to validate her. Until the strangely shy compere hands her a rose… This is an unusual three-in-one dance, rope and sling act with a built-in choreographed rigging change.

Perffaith?
Does neb yn berffaith. Nobody’s perfect. But somebody is perfect for us, even if that’s a rope. An aerial dancer’s love letter to her apparatus.
Dwy galon, un dyhead
Dwy dafod ond un iaith
Dwy rhaff yn cydio’n ddolen
Dau enaid ond un daith
Dic Jones
Two hearts, one longing
Two tongues but one language
Two ropes that link together
Two souls but one journey
