Highlights
-
Vancouver-born Angela McIlroy-Wagar began her circus training at the age of five, first at Circus West and later at the Vancouver Circus School. At age 16 she packed her bags and moved across the country, earning her Diplôme d’études secondaires (2014) and then her Diplôme d'études collégiales (2017) at Montreal's renowned Ecole Nationale de Cirque, specializing in aerial hoop, contortion, and aerial straps.
Angela has performed in festivals, private events, and major productions in Canada, the United States, Australia, Mexico, Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates and Europe. Described in the media as "an exceptional talent [whose] flexibility on the aerial hoop takes on almost inhuman forms” (Luzerner Zeitung), Angela has worked with companies such as Cirque du Soleil ("Drawn to Life"), Circus Monti ("Dreambox"), Cirque Éloize, Montréal Complètement Cirque, Le Monastère, Zyrko ("Circo Désir"), Strut n' Fret Production House ("Love Riot"), and Les 7 Doigts de la Main ("The Last Chapter").
A multidisciplinary artist at heart, Angela also trains in several dance styles including jazz, waacking, and contemporary. Since 2018 she has expanded into the tv & film industry, using her bendy abilities to land roles with Just For Laughs Gags as a comedian and stuntswoman, a leading role in "Talk to Me" by Jules de Niverville, as well a contract with Nish Media for their upcoming film "L'Inhumain", where Angela has made her official debut as a creature actor while portraying a skeletal "Wendingo" figure.
Bringing to the stage or set a distinctive and sparkling theatricality that is by turns elegant, eerie, and dynamic, Angela is always captivating. When she’s not busy twisting her body into confounding shapes, Angela enjoys training new styles of dance, creating chainmaille jewelry, rock climbing, and singing barbershop quartet harmony (soprano).
Angela is currently based out of Montreal.
