Pronoun: She/Her
Multi-disciplinary performer, Kaylie is a circus artist, musician, and all round creative soul born in Ottawa, Ontario. Growing up she studied violin and dance, and as an adult she discovered circus arts. What started as a hobby quickly turned into a passion and obsession. She traveled the world teaching and performing ‘buugeng’ an innovative flow-art originally from Japan, and she quickly become known within the community as a pioneer of pushing the boundaries of the norm. Currently she is a full time entertainer through live performances which include sword swallowing, fire spinning, and stilt walking. Recently Kaylie discovered ‘Daikagura’, a traditional Japanese performance art similar to circus that has given her a new direction. She has found a new artistic passion and wants to bring Daikagura performances to audience across Canada, while also using this medium to discover her heritage and spread knowledge about the lived experiences and struggles of Japanese Canadians.
