"Disclaimer: I am not in the mafia"

A conversation with circus performer and actor, Lauren Elizabeth

Our guest, Lauren Elizabeth is an amazing actor, circus performer, and former wrestler(?!). She also will pump you up with wisdom, her perspective as a queer Asian-American actor, and how to know not only the battles you're willing to fight but the ones you're willing to lose. Lauren's a laugh-riot, and we can't for you to see her perform at the Decolonize and Discover Festival (June 7-9, 2024). Have you gotten your tickets yet? Go to DecolonizeandDiscover.com today.

Lauren Elizabeth (she/her) initially started doing circus for resume fluff, and to be less klutzy as an actor. However she quickly found herself in love with physical storytelling. Now she uses her art to reclaim and embody power for herself and her characters. Recent highlights have been: an acro duet of Hades and Persephone where she became the queen of hell, a YouTube video celebrating ace pride from 2022, and a short time as Carrie N Crowe - a wayward assassin turned ring wrestler with BLOWW. When she's not doing circus she is fervently crafting under the watchful eye of her two cats.
