Jane Kirby is a Kingston/Katarokwi-based circus artist whose performance and creation work has been seen on stages across North America. Some of her most memorable performances include playing a monarch butterfly in the rigging of a tall ship on tour with the Caravan Stage Company; reading books while dangling from silks for hours at the Halifax Central Library as part of Nocturne: Art at Night; and performing contortion at a construction site for St. Catharines’ In the Soil Arts Festival. Jane is excited to add Hydra to her list, and will be performing on lollipop, a new-to-her apparatus.
