Planet Janet is part of the organizing team for West Coast Circus Camp and Head Galactic Gallivanter of Planet Janet Circus Entertainment, based out of the Gulf Islands and Victoria. As an artist, dancer and outgoing-introvert she discovered circus as a way to channel creativity, find her weirdos, practice therapeutic mindfulness and come out of her shell to share joy with others.
A multi-talented performer, instructor and event producer, she has been orbiting the flow and circus arts communities for about 10 years; cultivating curiosity, play and community. Professionally performing for over six years she has expanded her repertoire from hula hoops to include other props and circus skills, including fire, stilt walking and clowning. As a child youth and family counsellor she uses her degrees in child and youth care and horticultural therapy to bring the capacity building benefits of social circus to schools and youth in her community. Planet Janet organizes a successful talent show each year with Ptarmigan Arts, and is part of the team that puts on the Magic Lantern Festival, among other workshops and events throughout the year. Encouraging others to playfully be themselves and fostering connections is what she is all about—she is so excited to see you at WCCC 2020!! Janet will co-lead the fire circle safety team and fire safety orientation this year with Karina from Vestafire. |
