Evelyn Allard

I am a Leo. I was born with the sunrise, on an August morning. I like to feel the wind on my face, I like to be red-cheeked from the winter cold, and I like to dance under the rain. I have specialized in aerial hoop, at the National circus school of Montreal, but throughout the years, I have also been asked to perform on chandeliers, “étoile”, aerial chains, Spanish web, trapeze (solo and duo).  I have danced tango, spun boleadoras, played accordion, and sang. I’ve had the privilege to perform in Operas (Pagliacci and L’amour de loin), to be an original cast member of Corteo and Nebbia, in all of which I had the opportunity to work with Daniele Finzi Pasca and his family.  I’ve also performed at the Olympic Games in Vancouver, toured the world with world-renown companies such as Cirque du Soleil, Cirque Éloize, and The 7 Fingers.  I have traveled to so many places, and yet, I haven’t seen enough!  I believe in building bridges rather than walls, believe that we can still change the world, that elephants sing, and that chocolate cures.  And that butterflies are not only pretty, but inspiring: so fragile, yet so strong.
