Revolva

Revolva first hit the stage at age four in a Detroit-area ballet class. After a lifetime of dancing, acting and word slinging, she added hoops to her repertoire in 2002. While she can blow crowds away away freestyling to live music, she really shines with her signature, over-the-top character numbers. Her mantra? “Funny IS sexy!”

Now based in Oakland, CA, Revolva has rocked the stage with troupes such as: Circus Artemis, New Old Time Chautauqua Vaudeville Tour, and Wanderlust Circus - served as opening/support entertainment for bands such as OK Go, Weird Al Yankovic and Los Straitjackets– and been nabbed as a hot act by big-name clients such as Yahoo, Google and Ubuntu. She has also won the 2010 “Fire Idol” competition at Burning Man, served as the 2011 face of Synergy Fire Hoops, won a 2012 international Hoopie Award, and earned The Busking Project’s top pick award in the 2011 “How do you contribute to public space?” contest.

Blessed with the super power of creating stories, Revolva attempts to use her talent for the greater good. And she continues to travel the world, fusing hoop skills with writing chops to prove that storytelling and the movement arts are a truly dynamic duo.
