Fallon Burner is a circus performer, aerialist, actor, dancer, singer, acrobat and choreographer whose depth and breadth of versatility stem from a lifetime of exploration on the stage through a multitude of disciplines. Her legendary aesthetic is colorful, animated, thought-provoking, and sometimes also a bit silly. She employs theatre, dance, circus, music, poetic interpretation, prop manipulation, and character development to evoke a cathartic connection with her audience. Fallon is on the front edge of the emerging style of theatrical and character-driven circus and "cirque-style" productions, having invented the "Loopy Hoop!" - an exciting, new aerial apparatus full of mind-boggling flips, twists, and drops like you've never seen before - an act she sometimes performs as a brightly colored duck. Her apparatus is the marriage between two aerial fabric loops and a steel hoop. For more information, see the Loopy Hoop page.
Fallon is a 2011 graduate of the Professional Track program at the New England Center for Circus Arts, and the Entertainment Internship at Busch Gardens, Williamsburg. A founding member of Circus Momentus, Fallon is also their choreographer and chief costume designer. She has performed for companies such as Cirque Productions, Animate Objects Physical Theatre, Shakespeare In The Park, and Skindo Brazil Productions.
