Vanessa, co-founder of LEGacy Circus, is a circus and physical theatre artist based in Halifax Nova Scotia.

She specializes in clown and acrobatic stilt movement, as well as duo aerial dance. Vanessa received a degree in theatre and music performance from Bishops University and has developed a unique approach to adaptive and mindful coaching and performance for the last two decades.

Influenced by her work with non-verbal communicators, she was drawn to how this affected her own approach to teaching, creating, and performing.
