BIO

Biography


A Norwegian Sami acrobat and dancer, born on the countryside way north of the polar circle. She has devoted her life to the performing arts, and through the years developed skills as an all-round performer. As an acrobat and dancer she always work hard towards goals, and expect nothing less from herself then the best she can possibly do at any given time.


Performances that pushed further development:

2007 she performed acting, dancing, tumbling, pair acrobatics, aerial rope, and singing as Rumpleteaser in the musical Cats.

2011 pushed her fear of hight as she performed wall dancing on 25 meters and aerial ring on 40 meters for the concert production “Ekte Klang”.

2014 brought something completely new, performing acrobatics with a robot and high falls in a live show, “Speil Mit Grenzen”.

2015, on tour with the band “Glød” the singer lost her voice and Camilla improvised an additional rope act and two floor acts with the band to “fill in” for her.
