About
Kate Lawrence is an acrobat for hire in Adelaide, SA.
Hula hoops, fire and LED spinning, aerial hoop, aerial silks and aerial net. Kate Lawrence covers the lot, so a single booking can give you a feature act, roving performance, or a circus skills workshop for kids or adults, and packages can combine them. Roving needs nothing at all. Hoop and spinning acts want a stage of at least 2.5m square. The aerial work is the one that needs planning: ceilings of at least 3m and truss or beams a rigger has signed off on. For fire, sprinklers and extinguishers get switched off, and Kate brings a fire marshal along with a blanket and extinguisher. Rigging and fire safety risk assessments are available. Adelaide based.
Watch
The show
Kate Lawrence-Circus Artiste gives you something that stops conversation for a few minutes, which is the point of a circus act. Pick a feature performance for a set moment in the night, roving for something that moves through the crowd, or a workshop if you'd rather your guests had a go themselves. Whichever way you go, it's a visual act first, so put it where people can see.
On the day
Roving needs nothing at all. For hula hoop, fire or LED spinning she wants a stage measuring 2.5m by 2.5m at minimum. Fire work means switching off the automatic sprinklers and extinguishers first, and she supplies the fire marshal along with a blanket and an extinguisher. Aerial is the one to plan early. Ceilings need to be 3m or higher, with truss, beams or another structure that a rigger has already assessed as safe to hang from.
Performance options
Feature acts, roving performance and workshops can be combined into one booking, so a single visit covers more than one part of your day. The mix gets tailored around what your event needs rather than picked off a fixed list.
