Currently I live in Los Angeles, California but I carry both US and EU passports.
I have parlayed my career in circus and varieté theater as a performing artist, rigger, choreographer, producer and costume designer. In 2002 I became part of the American circus community training in a broad range of aerial acrobatics. I developed and refined my aerial and acrobatic skills with Shayna Swanson (Aloft Circus Arts), Nourbol Miermanov (MSA Circus Arts) and Helene Turcotte (Duo Mouvance, SF Circus Center). And most recently I apprenticed under Jonathan Pendragon in illusion magic.
As an aerialist and illusionist, my credits range from The Magic Castle, Chicago Contemporary Circus Festival, The Go Big Show, Master's of Illusion CW, and part of Hong Kong’s 2008 Olympic festivities. My duo lyra act is featured in the Paul Weitz film, Cirque du Freak, 2008. And in 2009 I played a role in the film Public Enemies, directed by Michael Mann. Additionally, under the instruction of Omar Chinibekov, I trained in Cossack trick riding and road with the Riders of the Ring as the headlining act in Circus Flora’s 2012 season. In 2017, I debuted my creation of the first-ever aerial quick change act on Spanish web, and in 2018 I premiered 20th Century Fashion Quick Change, a fast paced quick change act that spans the vogue of the 1900’s, decade by decade, where sex, drugs and rock n' roll tell a ladies retrospective from her right to vote to #MeToo.
I continue to develop my performing arts career by working in illusion magic, creating acts with a floating table and the magical linking rings.
