"Each time I am going to perform trapeze I create a new act. I have a lot of trapeze elements, tricks and equipment to work with. I have 7 different aerial trapeze type apparatus on which I can perform. I perform trapeze at all different heights: indoors and out, swinging or static, with a partner or alone.

Projects that materialize out of nowhere, inspire me to create new trapeze ideas, and they widen my horizons.

Being outrageous in my thinking is how I come up with new ideas. I create a new thing...I actually INVENT it. I have to plan it out as in a story line, for it to come to life on stage.

Putting something together in the air, outdoors, I have to ask myself, "what elements can I put together to make this different from anything I've done, interesting, unusual, exciting, AND outrageous?"

On the other hand, if I am going to do a 3-hour appearance at an opening celebration, such as The World Cup Downhill Ski Race, I look at creating something completely different, that will draw attention to the casual passerby as well as entertain the children, and catch the lenses of the photographers who think, "now I've got THE image"!

I want my audiences to be excited.....
I want them to be amazed,
I want to be something they have never seen before, and I want to do it the
best that I can, and know that I am!"
