Growing up on the family farm in Grey County, Ontario, Angola Murdoch’s childhood was spent dancing and doing gymnastics. Since then, her movement repertoire has grown to include many disciplines, such as aerial circus arts, acrobatics, and capoeira. For the last 20 years, Angola has enjoyed a long and prosperous career locally, having performed at major venues in Ontario (Buddies in Bad Times, the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Canadian National Exhibition, and others) and internationally (Cirque Pacifica (Maui), Gramercy Theatre (NYC), and Zip Zap Circus (South Africa)). A highlight of Angola’s career was being a Klingon aerial silk performer on Star Trek: Discovery. Currently, Angola is a company member of Femmes Du Feu Creations and part of the Lonely Child Project Collective. Through LookUp Theatre, Angola creates contemporary circus and theatre productions inspired by true stories.  Angola has directed six full-length contemporary circus shows, including 2019’s Toronto Circus Riot. Based on the actual Toronto Riot of 1855, the Circus Riot premiered to packed audiences and critical acclaim and garnered a Dora Nomination. In 2023, she is touring across-Canada with her solo show, Twist of Fate.
