Immerse yourself in a captivating performance that weaves together dance, circus arts, acrobatics, story, and song.

Molly Gawler, a renowned dancer, musician, and mother, brings her rich background to the stage. Having founded her own company in 2012, Molly's solo dance works are a testament to her creativity and passion, incorporating elements of acrobatics and storytelling through movement, all set to the live music inspired by the folk traditions of Maine. Her journey in dance began with ballet under Andrei Bossov in Pittsfield, Maine, and continued with contemporary and modern dance at SUNY Purchase in NY. Molly's career has seen her perform with various choreographers in New York City, tour the world with Pilobolus Dance Theater, and even grace stages such as Oprah, the Golden Globes, the Royal Variety Show, and the Academy Awards.

After exploring circus arts at the New England Center for Circus Arts in Brattleboro, VT, where she honed her skills in Cyr Wheel, Aerial Arts, and acrobatics, Molly has returned to Maine. Here, she continues to perform, play the fiddle, sing, and teach movement, all while enjoying life in a wooden yurt with her husband Lao and their children, Caspian and Mica, in Orland, Maine.
