Meet the performers
Julia STRIDES
I’m a multidisciplinary performer including aerial pole, chair, and more. Pole is my first love. It’s what lead me to embracing my signature style of strength, sensuality, and genuinely having fun. I also teach tricks & after dark pole classes at 3Sixty on Friday evenings. This is my 2nd time performing for HOK and I couldn’t be more excited!
corinne lapasfine
Corinne is a freelancing artist, working among other fields in circus aerials. Her signature? Keeping it weird. Whether it involves a snowboard, a flying canoe or rolling around in an empty TV - if you've seen something bizarre, you've seen Corinne. Catch one or her classes at Pole Fitness Academy or Aerial Antics!
Erika
Erika is a pole dancer, aerialist, and instructor who loves to put on a show. On stage you’ll find her doing slinky choreography, dynamic tricks, and clacking her heels together as loudly as possible.
shay
Shay is an award-winning performer and instructor based in Ottawa. She has been teaching at Pole Fitness Academy for over 5 years. Shay's style fuses sensual, hypnotic movement with her playful and cheeky attitude - keeping all eyes on her... just the way she likes it.
la RIN凛
La Rin’s journey from rhythmic gymnastics to the aerial arts has been fueled by a love for movement and a deep connection to the artistic community. As a dedicated pole instructor and performer, she blends classical dance techniques with modern athleticism. In this production, she showcases a distinct style of cabaret that emphasizes the fluidity and poise of a contemporary ballerina.
peach jelly - stage manager
Peach Jelly is a queer, middle-aged, plus-size performer who is unapologetically authentic and a little unhinged in all the best ways. She brings cheeky storytelling, humor, an up-close appreciation for her audience, unexpected turns, and musical tastes firmly rooted in the 90s. With Peach, you’ll get blatant body and sex positivity, and a delicious sense of unpredictability. While you can never be sure what will happen on stage, you’ll remember the chaos goblin that you got to see.
