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 competed 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. She continued this into her teen years through to adulthood and
to this day, maintains her vocal training.
Laura began her training as an aerialist in Adelaide, South Australia. After t ... raining aerial tissu/silks and
pole dance for several years, she was introduced to the circus world in 2020 at the Adelaide Fringe
Festival and instantly fell in love.
She began training at the South Australian Circus Centre in Adelaide where she found a range of
different circus disciplines to perfect.
Laura dove into the world of full-time artist in 2021 after stepping back from her occupation as an
Emergency Veterinary Nurse. Fortunately, she has already had the opportunity to work with several
well-known companies on a variety of different productions.
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 creative tumbling, to name a few.
She has also trained doubles trapeze, flying trapeze, Chinese pole, perch, and trick riding. Laura has
worked as an Advanced Circus Instructor at the South Australian Circus Centre and as a Circus
Performer/Instructor internationally for Club Med. Read More
