| Introduction | I have been a professional Sword Swallower since 2005ish. The only female sw'sw'er in Australia. I love performing and get a real kick out of being onstage, and increasing my 'performance language' to include new skills. I've run with the counter-culture since my early teens; playing in Punk bands, Industrial bands, and the alterno music scene in Melbourne where I'm based. I now have a young child and am enjoying the voyage of discovery that is teaching a small person about the world. |
