Glastonbury Festival 2014

Despite the weather and extreme survival conditions, Glastonbury is always amazing. This year, however, was particularly exciting as I got to perform not only ‘Atma’, but also 2 of my most recent hoop acts. ‘Black Out Days’ was specifically devised for the Circus Big Top and, although it was presented as work in progress, it received very positiveContinue reading “Glastonbury Festival 2014”

‘Atma’, 3 years later

This time last year, I was around on the Southbank a lot, performing in Circus Maximus, as part of the Udderbelly Festival. It was such a fun and intense month! My dear and awesome friend Jon Green came down to film me during the first Heat of the competition. So this is my ‘Atma’, 3 years later.

An even bigger, even better Circus Big Top was my home for a week at Glastonbury Festival 2013.

Glastonbury Festival 2011

This summer I got to live one of my dreams, as I got booked to perform in the Circus Big Top at Glastonbury Festival. Despite the extreme, hardcore conditions, it was one of the best, most fun and exciting experiences in my life. The Circus Field was possibly one of the best areas on site, andContinue reading “Glastonbury Festival 2011”

International Circus Festival at the Dusseldorf Airport

In December 2010, I was selected to take part in the 2nd International Circus Festival at the Düsseldorf Airport. The talented performers came from all over the world to share a very unusual and exciting day at the German airport. The whole departure hall in the terminal was used as the performing area, which providedContinue reading “International Circus Festival at the Dusseldorf Airport”
