My gateway to art began through circus. I performed and taught at Warehouse Circus and co-founded Poncho Circus, a company with which I co-directed works that toured throughout Australia from 2012-15. I went on to study at the National Institute of Circus Arts in Melbourne where I trained as an aerialist and found a passion for pushing the limits of duo and ensemble acrobatics. In 2016, I joined the ensemble at Circa Contemporary Circus where toured the world and created acrobatic shows with the company for five years.
After years of full-time touring, two major wrist injuries halted my ability to stand on my hands. Throughout my healing process I connected with Gold Coast company The Farm and was re-introduced to the world of dance and physical theatre. We began to work together on many projects and in 2023, I premiered my first solo, Break, in collaboration with The Farm and co-commissioned by Home of the Arts and Metro Arts. Nominated for two Matilda Awards, Break was my first work combining dance, autobiographical theatre and circus.
As a recipient of the Ian Potter Cultural Trust Grant (2022) and a Lord Mayor’s Creative Fellowship (2024), I trained with Europe’s dance leaders, including Wim Vandekeybus, Damien Jalet, and Anouk van Dijk. In 2024-25, I completed a six-month residency at Tic Tac Arts Centre, Brussels, in which I was mentored in dance/improvisation by David Zambrano and performed my own improvisation-driven work.
I continue to collaborate and tour globally with dance, circus and theatre companies such as A Good Catch, Casus Creations, ROOKE and The Farm as well as create my own work.
