Elspeth (they/she) is a Toronto-based performance artist and instructor specializing in scintillating pole and aerial creations. Driven by a deep desire to artistically fling herself around in the air as much as possible, Elspeth has travelled across Canada honing her craft and dazzling audiences in collaboration with groups such as Electra Productions, Cirque Revolution, Illuminair Entertainment, Something Creative, Jamie Allan's Illusionarium, and many more.

While amassing 10+ years of pole and aerial training (and forever counting), Elspeth has developed a very distinct style — a juxtaposition of melting movement with striking shapework, tied together with an overarching disposition for drama. In the pole world, Elspeth is a force to be reckoned with, having won several titles, most notably winning Pole Theatre Canada in 2022 with their story about the evolution of their gender identity, and continuing on to compete in Pole Theatre Worlds in 2026.

Beyond pole, Elspeth is a circus chameleon, shapeshifting to meet the confines of new apparatuses and spaces. Elspeth is a passionate practitioner of contortion, handbalancing and has fallen in love with the intersection between these two disciplines. Additionally, they are experienced in ambient durational performance in contortion, balance, apnea, sway pole, and (as a new fascination) hair hanging. Existing somewhere on the spectrum between dazzling show (-girl? -human? -thing?) and haunted cryptid — if there's anyone who can bring an outré flavour to pole and circus, it's Elspeth.

You can't choose your father, but you can choose your daddy. As the 2025 Skripped Down All Out Pro Winner, Fei's specialty is serving up pure entertainment that gets you high. Having brought numerous distinct characters to life on stage across Canada, their signature style is a dynamic one-of-a-kind blend of masc and femme energy and everything in between.

Off the stage, Fei finds joy in teaching bouncy high-octane choreo and explorative experimental flow. Their goal is to help students find pathways for their own expression, linking movement to feeling, to storytelling, and to body mechanics. 

Coming back to Skripped, Fei is excited to witness performers who move boldly, feel deeply, and take up space unapologetically—and to celebrate the craft, intention, and individuality behind each performance.
