JellyCat: aerialist

For years, I had watched in awe as aerialists soar through the air but never thought that that could be ME. But I just assumed it was too late for me to start. You have to get into that when you're a kid... right?

Or... maybe not?

At age 35, I followed an important person in my life through the door of Denver Circus Collective and started an exciting new adventure where I met a wonderful, colorful group of fellow weirdos as I explored the variety of circus apparatuses. As I was going through a challenging personal situations, I spent a lot of time training and attending classes.

As the months ticked by, I was starting to make plans for my first trip to Burning Man, and I noticed many camps posting online that they were looking for circus performers. Since I was still just a baby aerialist I didn't think I was actually good enough to get into any of the shows, but I thought it would be good practice to apply/audition. I submitted my information and recordings from practice and wasn't getting any response. So I applied to a few more. And then... I started receiving emails welcoming me to the cast of every show I applied to.

I enlisted the help of one of my coaches to choreograph my first piece and, if we fast forward a bit...

I've now performed a handful of times and can't to see where this adventure takes me next!

My artistic style

I specialize in character-driven, theatrical pieces with a dark and moody aesthetic — leaning into strength, unconventional movement, and emotionally driven storytelling over flexibility. I'm drawn to eerie, hypnotic music and “weird” moves that make audiences feel something.

Apparatus specialties: Lyra (performance) | Sling, Silks, Mini Lyra (training)

Past Performances

Let's work together!

I'm always looking for fun opportunities to perform or to collaborate with other artists in duo or group pieces. I have a few polished acts ready to go, and I always have a few more in different stages of development. I also find it a lot of fun to get up and "noodle" (improvisation, flow, etc.) to various sub-genres of electronic music. Lately, I've been feeling really inspired by orchestral EDM, "hope house," and more future bass vibes.
