I've had the pleasure of performing in everything from full-length shows to feature acts at cabarets and festivals to private corporate events. 

Performance highlights include Circus Sessions (Harbourfront Centre, Toronto); Bloom Festival of Awakening (Charlotte, North Carolina); Nuit Rose Festival (Toronto); Crash/Mat (Dunkirk, New York); Afternoon in the Park with the Firefly Family Circus (Edmonton); DARK CROP (Cambridge); Vital! Circus Cabaret (Oshawa); Cabarets at The Bank Art House (Welland); and long-standing Toronto arts events like Hercinia Art Parties (Hercinia Arts Collective); Aer Time (Femmes du Feu); Lunacy Cabaret (Zero Gravity Circus); and Body Brake (Anandam Dance Theatre).
