Foot Archeress

Biography

“Orissa is an incredibly creative artist, has extraordinary abilities, and is simply a joy to work with on set”
Oliver Robin Butler, Co-producer, Game of Thrones

As the UK’s only corporate foot archery act, Orissa wows her audience by shooting her bow and arrow in a variety of contorted, acrobatic positions, including from her feet while in a handstand. This captivating act can come in a variety of bespoke themes, including a woodland/Game of Thrones theme, or a more traditional, classic corporate theme.

Orissa’s career began as an artistic gymnast, competing successfully for Great Britain. As her competitive career came to an end she decided to use her skills and train in aerial silks. Her professionalism and passion for her craft have taken her all over the world, performing for events, TV productions as well as feature films.

In April 2015, Orissa created her unique Foot Archery act, involving four acrobatic foot archery tricks. These include shooting an arrow with her feet while in a handstand. Orissa is the only person in the UK to perform foot archery as well as the only person in the world to do this while on fire!  She has truly invented the art of Fire Foot Archery.

Orissa debuted her archery act on Britain’s Got Talent, receiving high praise from all the judges.  Amanda Holden has nicknamed Orissa the “bendy hot cupid”. She has gone on to perform worldwide for clients including HRH Queen Elizabeth II, the Saudi Royal Family, The X Factor, and London Fashion Week.

Multi-talented Orissa also has an amazing contortion/hand-balancing act performed to dramatic, classical music as well as some fantastic aerial acts including the death-defying web spin. This act involves Orissa being spun at high speeds from a corde lisse (rope) by both her hands and feet. With only a few people in the UK able to perform this, she combines dynamic contortion with terrifying tricks.
