Eliana Payne

San Diego native, Eliana Payne first began her performance career at "Cirque Electrique" as their only female Sprite (clown) in the summer of 2018. She then moved on to portray Beatrice in The New Village Art's production: "Servant of Two Masters". In addition, she benefited from intense training of clowning and commedia dell'arte at Accademia Dell'Arte in Tuscany, Italy.

Recently, she was cast as the first female Biff (a physical comedy host in Sea World's "Sea Lion and Otter show"). She is still performing in the show today.

Now a "Pro-Track" student at the San Diego Circus Center, her studies in Clowning and Trampwall help her discover any creative impulses that she may have and bring them to life on a much larger scale.  Eliana plans to find acting and clowning opportunities that challenge her emotional capacity as well as her physical ability.
