" She believed she could, so she did "
Hi, my name is Lisa Elvee
I’m an Amsterdam based performing artist and I’m happiest when I’m on stage or in front of a camera. Performing and practicing my unique shows, invented and created by myself, is what makes my soul sing. It gives me energy, excitement and fulfillment to add a sparkle to your life and I can’t wait to create a magical fairytale for you and your audience. 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 in my imagination, running off with fairies and fantasy 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, and the world seemed a harsh and boring place to be.
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 called "Flow arts", and it started a chain reaction of love for movement and circus arts.
I bet you can imagine that from that moment I never quit exploring again. Not only because it was love at first sight, but also because it made me realize something important… When you find something that feels good, no matter how silly or purposeless it may seem, you can excel at it. For me, it brought me into my very own fairytale.

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.
