Laura trained and performed with the Brooklyn based acrobatic dance company, LAVA from 2009-2011. While with LAVA, Laura performed in Loving & Daring and Encyclopedia. Laura performed in and was a founding member of the Ottawa theatre company, The Ottawa Stilt Union, under the direction of Laura Astwood. Laura trained and performed with the Ottawa Stilt Union for three years, performing in three shows; Beowulf, This is a Very Old Story, and The Girl who was Eaten by the Dark. Laura has done stilt performances across Canada, with the company and as a solo artist. Laura’s unique experience as a stilt performer and an acrobat makes her wonder if life is always better either 9 feet tall or upside down.
