Biography:
Equal parts Sorceress, Acrobat, Dervish, and Ninja, she brings the kind of tingle to the spine that can only be wrought as a direct result of tireless training, incredible skills, and occasional conspiracy with otherworldly forces. Spiral has been on the cutting edge of hoop dance and flow arts for over a decade, setting a precedent for skill, precision, and artistry that is unparalleled.
Defying the idea that movement artists must be taught an existing tradition from a very young age, and breaking through convention to evoke one’s own, never-before seen style is no easy task. Spiral’s performances are uniquely powerful, however, in part because she came to circus after childhood, as a young adult. As a result, she fused her later formal circus training with a pre-existing, organic and deeply personal love for expression, built on a foundation of many art forms.
In a world steeped in the notion that post-childhood, it’s “too late” to embark on a physical calling, Spiral’s path serves to prove that truly pioneering artwork is not necessarily the product of tradition, but rather of chance-taking and innovation. Her dedication to constantly developing her own, organic movement art has not only allowed her to become an elite, sought-after performer, but also a community leader and inspiration for many thousands of fans worldwide.
