About · Performances

On stage

Balance, strength and theatre. I create handstand acts that tell a story.

Before I taught handstand, I spent five years training to perform it. Here are two of my acts: my graduation piece from Tilburg, and a creation for Solsti-Cirque.

Discipline: Hand balancing on canes
Acts: On Ice (2023) · Résilience (2022)
Trained: Academy of Circus and Performance Art, Tilburg (NL)

On Ice

Caught in a storm, lost in the snow, I fight to stay alive in a delicate play of softness and strength.

I created this act for Solsti-Cirque, a circus show held during the winter holidays. It brought me back on stage after more than a year away, while I was starting my teacher training.

Five shows, and not a single fall from my handstands. Lots of fun, a few tears and a lot of craft.

Résilience

Everyone goes through hard times. Résilience is about how we get back up.

A piece that blends body and mind through movement, balance and voice. It was my final performance for my bachelor's degree in circus arts, on 18 June 2022.
