Theaker von Ziarno

Born in the North Island of New Zealand Theaker von Ziarno entered the world of 'performance' in 1990 by suspending her body -in relation to architecture for hours at a time. She called it installation art, others called it performance. Thus finding the performance in art she continued to produce and direct performances in industrial wastelands -away white box galleries, and black box theaters. This evolved into 'Vane Heart Artery' an installation and performance art aggregate, which utilised industrial wastelands as sites for hit and miss- promenade performance events.

Loving how accessible circus art was to a great cross section of people- Theaker promptly identified street performance as an important and effect means of engaging an incidental audience- of re inventing common and every day places to make magic on the street.

A professional trapeze artist who has performed at special events in Hong Kong, Singapore, Poland, Switzerland and Australia Theaker has performed her solo streets shows, Arty Ms and Supa Nova! In Croatia, Italy, Brazil, New Zealand, Austria, Germany, The Netherlands, The UK and off course throughout Australia.
