Nina Burri Contorsionist
As an artist, actor and model from Switzerland, I’m at home on the global stage. Following a successful working history as a ballet dancer, I discovered the art of Contortion and travelled to China to learn its skills. This was the beginning of what may be the craziest possible career for a contortionist.
My decision to gamble my whole future on a single card – to follow the insecure path of a stage artist in the face of every obstacle – has paid off. These days, I’m booked worldwide to take part in galas, events, variety shows, circuses, films, musicals, photoshoots … and so much more.
The range of my stage shows is constantly expanding and developing. New in the program are the "Arrowbow Number" or also called Footarchery-Contortion, and a "Quickchange Number", where you have to look very closely to understand how fast the clothes are changed!
