Hi, my name is Lisa Elvee
I’m an Amsterdam based performing artist and I’m happiest when I can create fantastical show, concepts or artworks. I spend my time performing, making costumes, styling and practicing circus arts. It gives me energy, excitement and fulfillment to add magic to your life. But first things first: let me tell you something about myself.
My life looks like a fairytale, but…
It wasn’t always sunshine and rainbows. For a long time, I was depressed. From a young age I was escaping from my world to my imagination, running off with fairies and creatures in my books. As I grew up, this became less and less effective as real life demanded me to make choices, find myself and figure out what I want to do with my life. It seemed an impossible task,
Until something magical happened…
When I visited an event, I came across someone selling and playing with poi, a form of juggling with two balls attached to ropes. At first it seemed silly, but from the moment I was spinning poi myself, I felt such intense enjoyment. I was so happy playing with these and for the first time in my life, I realized that something could me bring me joy and fulfilment for no particular reason. I never lost this joy in what I found out is to be called "Flow arts". It started a chain reaction of love for movement and circus arts.
When you find something that feels good, no matter how silly or purposeless it may seem at first, it can give your purpose. For me, it brought me into my very own fairytale.

And here I am...
Ten years later, I've been performing unique acts all over the world, with the best fire and light entertainment companies in the business.
It’s my mission to amaze people with unique acts and show them that everything is possible and that beauty can be found in unexpected things. And that’s why I invent and create acts that show the beauty of the human experience in different ways. Based on your desires and wishes, I make acts that suit the audience and myself. To make sure everyone will smile the day away. Because at the end, the only thing that matters is doing what you love and spreading joy.

I provide many artforms, from fire shows to light shows and from underwater artistry to costume creation.
