An aerial dance collaborative with a focus on authentic connection and expression, the Embodiment Collective speaks their mind through movement. Kirstin and Helen met a decade ago in the Bay Area, bonding over the drive to create art that moves people. With their emotional intention focused on sharing the human experience, they are now based in the Sierra Foothills and create work that is soulful, penetrating, and speaks out against injustice. With grace and fluidity they blur the line between floor and air, bringing a soulful vulnerability to their performances.

I started performing as a young child on stage, and from ages 11-18 was a performer in a circus troupe. After graduating high school, I attended the Vancouver Film School, in “Acting for Film and Television.” I still act and work in film, and have been performing stand up comedy locally and internationally for the last 7 years. In 2019 I traveled to all 50 states as the opening act for a touring comedy show: “Clownfish.” I currently live in Grass Valley and perform frequently as a comedian. I also write and create my own film based projects.
I believe laughter is the best medicine, nudity is freedom., and that artists create the culture, which is the soil in which our consciousness grows. I make radically delightful, completely original, off-beat, hybrid-genre performances infused with color, absurdity hand-made details. My influences include mythology, surrealism, magic, mysticism, circus, burlesque, puppetry, and misbehaving wild women throughout history. I bring sexy, delightful, absurd, surprising, boundary-pushing ideas and images on the stage, page and screen.
