Kasha Konaka

Kasha Konaka is an interdisciplinary circus artist and performer specializing in contortion with an extensive history performing in cabarets, festivals and productions both nationally and internationally. As a former gymnast who struggled to fit into the mold, circus has allowed her to continue to develop and express her flexibility and creativity to create new opportunities. Shy in person, she has found movement to be the perfect conduit to express her feelings, tell stories, and create connections between people. Kasha loves the weird and otherworldly, yet beautiful and expressive nature of contortion and contemporary circus. She brings a unique perspective to the circus arts. She has produced and directed her own works and is known for creating and performing on unique props/apparatus. She continues to push the boundaries of what she can create. Kasha also has experience in the film industry as a stunt performer.
