My name is Caitlan Anthony and I am currently living in Halifax, Nova Scotia and I am in my second year taking the Costume Studies program at Dalhousie University. I am also Head Coach and Troupe Coordinator at Atlantic Cirque in Dartmouth. We teach all ages and levels many different things such as Juggling, Trampoline, Spinning Plates, Hula Hoop, Trapeze, Aerial Silk, Acrobatics, and too many other things to list. I also perform professionally with Atlantic Cirque's performance troupe, Cirque Siana, which has been keeping my quite busy lately! Most of the time when I am performing, I specialize in Contortion, Cerceau, Hand to Hand acrobatics or Aerial Silks. If you want to check out some of my contortion and hand balancing tricks, then you can check out my youtube channel. I will try to keep this updated as much as possible with upcoming show dates for the public.
While I'm on the topic of shows, I am performing at three different events this week multiple times. The first one is a private wedding, which can be pretty fun, where I will be performing my contortion act. The last wedding I performed at was a year or two ago at the Cunard Center. It was a massive Lebanese extravaganza where I performed a duo Aerial Silk act with my friend and fellow performer Maddy Higgins. It was definitely a fun event, and everything so well planned out that our costumes even matched the wedding cake!!
On Friday I will be performing at Titz N Glitz a Breast Cancer Fundraiser. Definitely one of the funnest events that I do. It is a womans only event where everyone dresses up in fun costumes to do with boobies! If you are a woman then you should definitely get tickets before it's sold out.
I'm especially excited to perform this year because I won't be doing my regular performance. I will actually be bar-tending and serving champagne with two other girls from the circus school while hanging from a triple trapeze. My friend Monique Ryan and her Mahari tribal belly dance group will also be performing at the event. They're smokin' hot so you should definitely come check them out as well.
Lastly I will also be performing "Redemption of the Dark Side" as part of Nocturne again this year which is a night of art displayed in many different way around the city. We'll be putting on performances every 15 minutes from 6pm-12pm at Alderney Landing Theatre in Dartmouth which you can access via the ferry terminal. Many performers from Atlantic Cirque and Serpentine Circus will be coming together on this night to perform some really spectacular acts. Acts throughout the night include Aerial Silks, Cerceau (pictured below), Belly Dance, Acrobats, Jugglers as well as Fire performances. And the best part? It's FREE. For specific details and scheduling you can check out the facebook event or check out the circus school's website.
Hope to see you in the audience!
