An energetic 
​acrobat armed with hoops great and small; she will rock you all.

Kinetic Kristen slings hoops, rides & wrangles a Cyr wheel, and flips, kicks and splits her way through every performance. After following her love of music to Nashville, this tiny Tennessee tornado ran away with the real circus, performing as a professional circus artist across the US and Canada on a regular basis and teaching hula hoop and acrobatics at the Delinquent Debutantes studio. Infamous for existing solely on caffeine and rock ‘n’ roll, Kinetic Kristen imbues her acts with a fierceness to rival any mythical warrior and tricks to make you say, “What. The. F*%^!”

Her career highlights include two contracts with Matt Davenport Productions' "World of Wonder" at Holiday World & Splashin' Safari Theme Park; a featured act in the 2017 Circus Spectacular in Vermont; producing, directing, and performing in a new contemporary theatrical circus show, "The Hearts We Share," at the 2017 Sideshow Fringe Festival; and a featured performer at the legendary Skull's Rainbow Room in downtown Nashville. ​She is a long-time rotating cast member of Playing By Air Productions, first appearing with the entertainment troupe in 2009. Kristen continues to appear with ensemble casts, burlesques, and cabarets throughout the country.  

Kristen is a 2014 graduate of the New England Center for Circus Arts (NECCA) Professional Training Program, with training in Roue Cyr, Acrobatics, Contortion and Partner Acrobatics under former members of Cirque du Soleil, Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey, Cirque Eloize and Cirque Mechanics. ​

Although her official circus training began in 2008 with a hula hoop and a music festival, Kristen has a long-standing background in classical dance, show choir, dance team and marching band. Her encounter with the simple hula hoop tapped into that history; she immersed herself in learning all things hoop-related from various instructors while implementing her own style of movement and presentation. She began performing in 2010, picking up aerial arts and acrobatics training with the Aerial Fabricators and Susan Murphy, before taking a year off in 2013 to attend NECCA. Armed with a bevy of new skills, Kristen returned to performing and teaching in 2014 and hasn't stopped moving. In the rare moments out of the studio or off-stage, she enjoys attending concerts of all genres, outdoor adventures, sci-fi and fantasy, or dark coffee and a fantastic book.

A quick teaser reel

I love new projects, so let's GO!

Whether you are booking for ambient entertainment, curating a full stage cabaret, a film, modeling project, or casting for a theatrical circus show, I would love to chat more with you! Many of my acts are ground-based and self-sufficient; there is an option no matter the space.

For example, look at the film project I did in summer 2017 with Kidron Cannon! I appear TWICE - Cyr wheel and hula hoops - doing what I love in the heart of my city.
