    Starfiz Sphere and Silks

    Leyla and I opened the Aalco Sales Awards dinner at the Westminster Park Plaza Hotel, with our sensual, high energy Aerial Sphere act. Working with Black Fire Agency, FDG Creative and Bedrock Creative, we rigged our unique aerial sphere and two red silks for the circus themed event. Following the meal, we closed the dining section of the awards evening with a ten minute long ambient silks set, before a live band played to guests on the dance floor. Our Sphere act, filmed by

    Flying Visit to the Seychelles

    Leyla and I joined Le Bouge Neon show on a trip to the Seychelles to perform for a private client. The 70s disco cabaret entertained guests on the beautiful island, before we flew back to London for our Leicester Square Theatre show. We are ever so grateful to see such stunning parts of the world as part of our job, and love being part of the Bouge show team. It was the first time that we had flown with our Aerial Sphere, and turned out to be very easy! We just checked it in

    Human Mirror Ball Aerial Act

    The Starfiz Aerial Sphere has been transformed into a human mirror ball act for Le Bouge Neon's 70s disco cabaret at the Underbelly Festival, on London's Southbank. We have one date remaining, 21st September 2017. You can buy tickets to the Spiegeltent venue at the Underbelly website. Two girls fall in love across a crowded dance floor. Two become one as Acantha Lang sings Made to Love with her velvet voice and the human mirror ball spins, casting light on all who watch in. I

    Starfiz join Le Haggis for the Big Burns Supper 2016

    Leyla and I have just spent two weekends in the hometown of Scottish poet laureat, Robert Burns, joining "Scotland's sexiest cabaret" to celebrate the annual Big Burns Supper in Dumfries. Electric Theatre Workshop programmed a fortnight of events in a beautiful Spiegeltent, with Starfiz performing in Le Haggis for adults, and Celtic Circus for children. We opened the show with a sexy and powerful solo silks act to Nae Sleep. We performed a sensual version of our Spinning Silk

    Save the Children Secret Winter Gala 2015

    Late last year, Leyla and I performed our Aerial Sphere act at the wonderful Secret Winter Gala, with the event raising over £1million for charity, Save the Children. Les Enfants Terribles recreated scenes from Alice's Adventures Underground (Vaults, Waterloo) in the beautiful Guildhall venue in London. Leyla and I were made to look like the same person - Alice in Wonderland - with the help of wigs, matching costumes and makeup. We stood behind mirrors and interacted with gue

    Starfiz Aerial Sphere in the Spiegeltent at Wilderness Festival 2015

    Leyla and I performed our Aerial Sphere act in the Grand Spiegeltent at Wilderness Festival! The wooden and mirrored tent was a magical venue and we really felt excited to be a part of such a great variety of arts entertainment on offer at the Oxfordshire festival. Bjork headlined, Rambert danced, Opera North sang, Divine Company glittered, Shotgun Carousel intrigued, Gorilla Circus flew and I discovered a woman I should have seen many years ago - Camille O'Sullivan. She was

    New Aerial Sphere Act

    I have been working with Leyla on Starfiz's latest aerial act....the Aerial Sphere! Our first performances of our new act were at The Aeronaut pub in Acton, in a circus cabaret compered by Jon Udry. Aerial prop maker Jonathan Graham created our new apparatus so that we could further develop our Emma Insley Aerial Creation Fund Award work, which began with our unique Spinning Silks act. The Aerial Sphere is a more compact aerial act with faster spins, and can be rigged in low
