Glastonbury Festival 2019

Glastonbury Festival is by far my favourite gig in the UK and I had the privilege to be performing there again this year for the 6th time since I moved to London.

The talent and professionalism in the Circus Big Top are unrivalled, especially within a festival context, where anything could go topsy-turvy anytime.. and it does! The work that goes behind the Big Top is just insane and the team are on top of it 24/7 – legends!

This year’s programme 😀
Atma, revamped for the Circus Big Top

You just feel catapulted into a fantastical wonderland where all logic seems reversed, the perception of time goes out of the window and everyone is up for sharing their love for music and adventure… despite the treks it takes to move from one area to the other – work it!

The Circus Big Top at sunrise ❤

This year’s glorious sunshine, the ban on single use plastic bottles, David Attenborough and The Cure made it for me the best Glasto ever so far.

Thank you Jade and everyone at the Circus Big Top for having me play and a special thanks to Shaun Dunbar, who was looking at us all from above and dancing with us every single day. RIP, dear Shaun ❤ ❤ ❤

Park Chinois

In the heart of London Mayfair, lies an opulent hideaway for bold Chinese cuisine, crafted cocktails and thrilling entertainment.

Follow the winding staircase into Club Chinois, a beautiful salon underground, where you can find me spinning through the summer season, together with DJ’s and some of the best circus and variety artists in town.


Rainbow Serpent 2019

2019 started with a real bang for me, as I manifested one of the gigs I had been wanting to do for a while – Rainbow Serpent Festival, Australia.

It was an incredible adventure flying to the other side of the world to share my art with a tribe of old and new friends.

This festival is unlike any others I’ve performed at before – with its beautiful site and art installations, incredible sound systems shooting a wide variety of music, there is at its very core a strongly felt desire to provide a platform for self expression, discovery and connection.

Big thanks to Rainbow Serpent and especially to the crew at the Fiasco stage for welcoming me and my hoops open heartedly. Australia, you are blowing my mind.

Cirque Lumiere

This Christmas brought me back to my roots as I got to spin fire every night with the amazing Grace Billings from Flame Oz, as part of the Cirque Lumiere Christmas parties – a circus extravaganza set in the beautiful Bloomsbury Big Top, London.

You may remember that Grace and I collaborated before, on the creation of ‘Teardrop’, an exquisite LED hula hoop act that combines dance and smart technology LED hoops.

This season we not only got to perform our hoop duo, but we also devised a sassy fire act that combines fire eating, fire ropes and lyco – HUGE FLAMES!

A lot of fun was had and I’m looking forward to fresh collaborations with Flame Oz in the new year. Thanks to the whole cast and crew in the Big Top, we made a lot of people happy!

The Great Gatsby party for Muse at Somerley House

I have been collaborating with The Immersive Ensemble for a while now – I just love performing with this crew and transporting guests into the wonderful jazz age, with all its fun and glamour.

Gatsby parties at the Taj Hotel, St James Court, London

This Christmas, not only did we take over the majestic Taj Hotel, St James Court, London, for a run of Christmas parties, we also performed at Somerley House to entertain Muse and their guests during Chris Wolstenholme’s wedding celebrations. SO EXCITING!

Here’s to more incredible adventures in the new year!

Goodwood x Lovebullets – Halloween at the House

This Halloween I teamed up with Lovebullets for Chapter II of a series of magical events on the spectacular grounds of Goodwood’s sprawling Estate. 45857808_10156935881153166_600308068588191744_n

Goodwood House was transformed into a travelling spaceship, which led the guests through a multi-sensory playground of light, sound and performance.

Looking forward to creating more magic with the incredible team behind Lovebullets and Goodwood Doghouse.

LoveBox 2018

Last weekend marked another edition of London’s own Lovebox Festival.

Throughout the sun-drenched weekend, I was there to spread the hoop love.

Hands up to all the artists and crew involved in the festival, that was a great weekend.

Lots of LOVE.

Why Nam Magic

Stable, steady, tremoring to her inner vibration, sensitive and present, she plays, intention free, to the rhythm of reality and in this way, each moment, she realises her true nature.

A night of unconditional love, connecting with my Why Nam tribe, sharing visions and stories, as we inspire and learn from each other, whilst creating magic and beauty through different art forms. Infinite gratitude to the beautiful creatures who crossed my jungle path and shared their stories with me. Words cannot express my feelings for you.. Until next time – kewp khun ka.

Kali

A celebration of the intoxicating, wild feminine and the divine, creative power of Shakti.

‘Kali’ is a highly-skilled, sophisticated and sassy performance that combines dance and hula hooping with the latest, cutting-edge LED technology. Custom illuminating colours, patterns and graphics are delivered on stage in conjunction with seamless movements and choreography, to create an unforgettable, multi-dimensional visual experience. Drawing inspiration from Hindu mythology and African music, Silvia channels the Tantric Goddess of love and destruction in a fast-paced, psychedelic act that aims at inspiring women to embrace their inner wilderness and creative power.

Performed in ‘Club Briefs’, Underbelly Festival 2017, London.
