Well, since you’re here you’re interested in learning more about myself.
I think I have been enormously lucky – I was born in the family of circus actors. My parents, Larissa Nikolaevna and Vladimir Alexandrovich, are the best people on earth. They stand for me always and everywhere. My dad came to the circus from sports; he was a professional artistic gymnastics coach and graduated from Moscow Academy of Sport.
For a long time he was a horizontal bar gymnast, then re-qualified for horseback stunts, now we work together. My mom became a circus actress by accident: a friend brought her to the circus and convinced her to begin a dog training carrier. Now mom also works with me, many thanks to her for the invaluable help and assistance!
I was born on September 6th, 1979. As many other circus kids, I literally grew up on the arena having tried myself in almost all circus genres: tightrope walking, horizontal bars, horseback dancing (grotesque), horseback stunts, prestidigitation. With my father, we prepared the “weight-lifting couple” act but never showed it on the arena.
I never thought I would be doing air acts, heights make me panic… But once I saw a girl on the chorde-de-pareil in an amateur competition. I do not remember her name, it was a long time ago in Vladivostok circus, but for the rest of my life I will be enormously grateful to her: it was she who inspired me to create my own act.
What am I interested in personally? A lot. My main hobby is Irish dancing. I fell in love with it thanks to the ingenious contemporary dancer, Michael Flatley. Books are probably on the second place. English classics, Bulgakov, mystic and gothic novels, history… Harry Potter :) I am a “finished Potter-addict”, of which I am exceptionally proud :)
Poetry – Lermontov and Byron.
Music is neither the last nor the least for me. Earlier, that was Michael Jackson; now this is rock and metal music: “Kipelov”, “Franz Ferdinand”, Meat Loaf, “Saltatio Mortis”, and “Drowning Pool”.
I love quite a few movies, they are all fairly different and listing them would be useless and disinteresting... Favorite actors – the first and foremost comes the God and Genius Alan Rickman, then Edward Norton, Johnny Depp, Jacky Chan.
I am also a fan of the unique and inimitable trend called KVN :)
