Jessica, the Fire Eating Contortionist!!!

About Me

I am a self-taught contortionist who has extensive dance, gymnastics, and musical theater training. Shortly after teaching myself contortionism through my practice of the Feldenkrais Method, I learned how to eat fire from the fine folks of PURE Cirkus. I became their contortionist and have been traveling between Las Vegas, Seattle, and Los Angeles performing, both affiliated with PURE Cirkus and independently, for the last three years. I am currently revisting some of my gymnastics training and learning new acro-balancing skills that I am very excited about. Also enjoying improving my fire skills and exploring aerialism, juggling, clowning, and other circus arts and sideshow skills.
