JOURNEY
Kaylie started exploring the world of arts and performing when she began to play violin at 7 years old. This artistic expression became a huge passion for her, and she quickly started playing music in bands, orchestras throughout her school years. When she left home to travel she met a circus performing troupe, and played music for their performances.
This was the beginning of a new avenue of performing, and being always eager to learn new things she stated learning circus arts. Things began slowly with stilt walking, but once she started spinning S-staffs in 2012 she knew she had found more than a hobby.
THE S-STAFF OBSESSION
Flow arts and fire spinning quickly became a lifestyle as Kaylie traveled globally teaching and performing this slightly obscure prop called ‘buugeng’ or 's-saff', helping others discover new ways to move and manipulate this object. She quickly became known worldwide as the pioneer of buugeng balancing and contact buugeng.
Her skills in object manipulation extend to include a proficiency in nearly all props including juggling, dragon staff, double staff, fans, hoops, prop balance and much more.
FOUNDING A COMPANY
As the years passed, and Kaylie worked full-time as an entertainer, she started producing shows of her own under her company name 'Key Creations'. Starting with curating cabaret shows to eventually writing a script and producing her award winning theatre show KIMIKO, Kaylie found more and more ways to inspire audiences through performing arts.
