Fonda Feeling - Aerialist / Acrobat | Boston, Massachusetts

Description

As a circus artist, I endeavor to make my acts the most polished, dynamic, and beautiful that they can be. I often bring a retro or classic 30's style with a moden twist. I am primarily trained in aerial hoop and contortion, with a background in silks, rope, flaying and static trapeze, sling, Spanish web, hand balance, and partner acrobatics. I also perform sideshow, fire, burlesque, living statue, and some dance. Available for booking:
Aerial Hoop: My style as a hoop performer is languid, elegant, and dynamic. I use the hoop as an extension of myself, and float, glide, and spin through the ... air. Acts for this apparatus are customizable, I have a well of acts to contemporary music, but anything you can think of is possible.
Contortion: I am mainly a backbend contortionist. I use dance to create a smooth, silky style of movement from one trick to the next. Acts are also customizable in this discipline.
Sideshow performance: I perform human blockhead, glass walking, fire arts, and glass eating. I generally do "Classic" sideshow performance, but working it into music or as a part of another act is more than doable.
I often perform burlesque, and burlesque-style acts, as well. Everything I do can be made family-friendly, and many of my aerial acts already are. Read More
