Angela loves living where circus, dance, and physical acting meet and human connection can go beyond day-to-day limitations and allow for joined emotional journeys.  Upon moving to NYC Angelas Dance career literally took flight  and she quickly fell in love with the unmatched trust & communication required for safety to achieve something so impressive and far beyond what one could do alone: circus.

"... It was clear  the world between circus, dance and storytelling was my home…. Where either as an audience member experiencing a sense of wonder and awe or as someone training or unlearning their mental and physical boundaries  THIS is where people's minds were changed of what IS possible …   and this could happen only because of  their shared  experiences in a safe space ....
