Mackenzie Rose
This insomniac is to blame for the creation of Circus Acts Insomniacs in 2014. With a background in gymnastics and dance, and a knack for performance, Mackenzie brought together this dynamic group and created an outlet for expression. With a personal passion for the performing arts, Mackenzie has dedicated herself to the development of her skills and the creative process of bringing together performances. Mackenzie is an aerialist, stilt walker, dancer, fire spinner and choreographer. With a drive for captivating crowds and pushing the boundaries, this insomniac won’t be sleeping anytime soon.
Ally Bat
More comfortable upside down, Ally naturally gravitated toward aerial arts. She began training dance trapeze in Toronto in 2014 and has since expanded her training to lyra, static trapeze, silks, straps, dance, fire, and partner work.
Ally pushes herself to dive deeper into self-exploration and growth by training solo, with her peers, and training with world renowned coaches in Canada and internationally. She is a certified hatha and yin yoga teacher, black belt in Karate, and holds certificates in Costuming and Rigging for aerialists.
The Insomniacs give Ally opportunity to make visions into reality. Ally is dedicated to the art of theatre and through training, performing and production, she finds that sweet freedom she seeks.
Petunia Rae
Petunia, a dancing forest fairy, has had a special love for performance since a young age. With an extensive background in classical dance petunia continued her training in Italy and London, always pushing the envelope and trying new styles. In later years, Petunia discovered burlesque and fire performance and hasn't looked back. Now back home in the Kootenays, Petunia is more than excited to continue her journey with the circus.
