Roaring Twenties at Banqueting House

I had such a fun time performing two Great Gatsby themed acts on La Luna at Banqueting House last Friday. The first was a slinky performance to Everybody Wants To Be A Cat, in a fringed black 1920s costume. The second was a lighthearted act to Liquid Lunch, with my character being a little tipsy and hungover, in a white and gold 1920s costume. The acts were on The Dream Performance's La Luna, for Sternberg Clarke events. #LaLuna #TheDreamPerformance #SternbergClarke #KatieHar

London Bierfest Aerial Shows

I was asked to pitch showstopping ideas for this year's London Bierfest, an Oktoberfest inspired event in the City of London. The event organisers were keen to use the imagery of aerial circus to wow visitors at the popular event in the Old Billingsgate Hall. With Circus Suburbia, I put together two show options for Bierfest - two circus shows with a variety of aerial and ground based circus acts and a compere, with each act taking on a Bavarian or beer theme. For example, ta
