Biography

Laura was born and raised in a small South Australian country town on the Murray River.
At 5 years of age, she joined her local Calisthenics Club where she danced for several years before
moving onto Competitive Artistic Gymnastics and Contemporary/Modern Dance.
Laura also commenced vocal training at the age of 8 and experimented in learning a variety of different
instruments including piano and guitar.
Laura began her training in Adelaide, South Australia. After training aerial tissu/silks and pole dance for
several years, she was introduced to the circus world at the Adelaide Fringe Fe ... stival and instantly fell in
love.
Laura has found herself to be a generalist in the circus industry, focusing on aerials, pole dance, cabaret,
and contemporary dance and movement. More recently she has found herself exploring new disciplines
such as, contortion, hand balancing and partner/group acrobatics and Chinese pole, to name a few. She
has also trained doubles trapeze, flying trapeze, perch, and trick riding.
Laura has worked as an Advanced Circus Instructor at the South Australian Circus Centre and as a
Circus Performer/Instructor and Animation Host, internationally for Club Med.
She has also worked in Stage Production/Stage Management and more recently has focused her
attention on creative directing and show development. Read More
