About

Anne's training began at Le Petit Cirque in Los Angeles at age 12, in Mongolian contortion, hand-balancing and aerial arts. At 13, she taught herself the rare skill of foot archery, later developing into her signature act — contortion, hand-balancing and archery into a single, highly specialized performance that has since carried her to stages and productions around the world. Her secondary act is aerial loops, providing extra entertainment to events and productions.

Her early credits include the Nobel Peace Prize Concert and the Dalai Lama's Peace Summit (both 2017), and Steve Harvey's Little Big Shots.

Since then her work has spanned cruise ship productions, cabarets, variety shows, big-top productions and international circus festivals — Virgin Voyages “It's A Ship Show”, Circus Monti’s “Et Voilà” (CH), the Western Australia Circus Festival (AUS), Montréal Complètement Cirque (CAN), and many more. Across 600+ performances, she moves quickly between companies, creative teams, cultures and production environments.
