MY BIO
It was in my last year of high school when I discovered what would eventually become my career and something that would change the rest of my life: The Art of Circus.

After just a few months of training on my bungee-trapeze, I went to Orlando, Florida, to perform for the first time as a professional acrobat. I performed in "Elastics Gymnastics", a show concept created by Yves Millord and Bill Brown. Following these performances, I went to Montreal for two weeks training with aerial specialist Andre Simard, at the Cirque de Soleil studios. In 1997, I left Quebec City to go to Las Vegas with my partner at the time. While he performed in Cirque du Soleil's show "Mystere", I trained in Cirque's studio, improving my bungee-trapeze act, as well as my hand-balancing techniques. Before returning to Québec City, I performed forty more shows with "Elastic Gymnastics" at the Tuscon Annual Fair in Arizona. I then returned to Quebec, where my partner and I opened our own circus school, "Cirque de l'Odyssee". While teaching circus courses, Is started to work on a new solo routine on her trapeze. Nine months later I was hired by the first permanent Cabaret of Quebec "Les Folie's de Paris" where I performed as a bungee-trapeze artist and dancer for three years, a total of 500 shows. I then accepted an offer from the Cabaret "Le Théâtre de Nouveautés" in Montreal where I performed my act for more than 100 shows. In 2001, I was added as co-host of the "Caribbean Workout" for over sixty shows taped on location in Barbados. Later that year, I moved to Halifax to work on the TV series "Made in Canada". Since 2003, I have also been the French spokesperson and voice talent for Superstores in Atlantic Canada.

Since coming to Halifax, my main objective has been to open Atlantic Canada's first and only school for circus arts: Atlantic Cirque Agency and School. Atlantic Cirque has been a great success since its opening in September 2002 and now counts over 115 students visiting the circus school weekly.

In the spring of 2009, my friend Victoria and I started a new business; a talent agency called 360artist management (360am.ca).

And it's after being inspired by a friend ;) (P.Dub) in the summer of 2009 that I finally stopped using his and bought my own Nikon D60. All I can say is that I am loving learning about photography and enjoying the inspiration and work of great Flickr talents!!



My life philosophy:
S'émerveiller de tout, ne s'étonner de rien.
Se passionner pour tout, ne s'attacher a rien.
Aimer toute personne, n'etre esclave d'aucune.
Etre bien avec tous, mais savoir etre seule.
Et mourir chaque jour, mais vivre chaque instant.
Savoir tout relatif, mais chercher l'absolu.
Vouloir etre sage, en sachant rester fou.


Certain things catch your eye, but pursue only those that capture your heart.
