Winter Wonderland in Edinburgh

I was invited to perform alongside the wonderful Lisa Whitmore on synchronized aerial silks at a beautiful Christmas dinner party in Edinburgh. Our stunning act really brought the Christmas magic as the sounds of Bing Crosby floated around the gorgeous converted church.








We performed in our gorgeous white costumes in the style of snowflakes with makeup and hair to match!

Indian Wedding in Thailand - The Heliosphere

I was invited to perform with the Dream Engine at an Indian wedding at the beautiful Dusit Thani, Pataya, Thailand. 


 The event we were performing at is known as Jaimala (Exchange of Garlands) - the couple exchanges garlands as a gesture of acceptance of one another and a pledge to respect one another as partners. The grounds had been done up beautifully with all fresh flower decorations.




 I was to fly over the water at sunset holding both the garlands and present them to the bride and groom from the heliosphere



We later performed a 10 minute aerial act after the fireworks over the party and down onto the beach. It was very well received.

I Performed as part of a show created by George May productions as part of the Hewlett Packard Sales Kick off Cocktail Party 2011. There were numerous artistes flown to Milan from all over the world to perform alongside myself. These ranged from stilt walkers, contortionists, acrobalancers, brazillian dancers and strolling characters.
