Hello everyone!! :) Im fairly new to contortion, i did try to pursue it back when i was in middle school but i got discouraged by family, and the fact that i have scoliosis so i have to work harder for my flexibility in my legs then in my back, which got a bit discouraging as well. i had stopped stretching for the rest of high-school but really missed it allot. I recently started to get back into it and im making great progress for having not stretched in a long time haha :P im so happy to have found online contortion communities to keep me motivated! :) i wish i knew about them when i was younger haha! :) i cant wait to get to know some of the people on here and hopefully learn some new things as well :)

best wishes to all,

Hi contortionist community!
We're working on film that could be a great opportunity and showcase for a lot of the artist on this page. We found your information online and thought you may be interested in submitting. The film is an experimental project, and it is the story of a Magician in a very surreal setting of New York, who battles his demons but eventually finds an angel.

All the details are below. If you have any questions feel free to email me.

 Hey everyone,

I just joined LJ so to be able to post on this community. I'm a NYC based photographer, studying photography at Fashion Institute of Technology. I'm nearing the end of my semester and I have to finish putting together my portfolio. I've been itching to photograph a contortionist artist to put as a finishing piece in my portfolio, and I would love to get to know some of you guys if you're in the area and want to get in front of a camera. I usually work with Makeup artists and wardrobe stylists to produce beautiful images, and we all work together as a team, model included. So if anyone is interested, please contact me by e-mail or reply to this post if you want. I don't discriminate between gender, height or experience you may have, but I am often time looking for a specific look. So please don't be afraid to contact me!

My e-mail is gianna_rovelli@hotmail.com

Cheers!

Hey y'all!

Hey everyone.

Some of you may remember me. A few years ago, I was a quite well known around the online contortion community known as contortionistjessi and obviously infected_ex. I was featured on many sites and one of my videos was on Attack of the Show. This peaked around 2008. In 2009, I became severely anorexic and had to enter acute inpatient at 5' 2" 60 pounds. I was on bed rest for 2 1/2 months, on an NG Tube for 6, and in a wheelchair for 6. I had re-feeding syndrome, renal, kidney, pancreatic, and liver failure. I had to rebuild everything. My muscles, bones, organs, heart, ability to walk, and everything more.

But 2 years later, here I am again. Ready to show my face to the Contortion world again and live my dream.

I have lost a lot of flexibility and strength, but I am determined to get it back. I will be what I want. I will be confident. 

I have a video of how I am now on youtube right now

Thank you so much. Missed Y'all!

I am a Graduate Student in New York City at Columbia University working on my Master's in Fine Art. For my final project I would like to use a contortionist for part of a video I will be making. It would be a very low commitment and a fast shoot. The final piece will be exhibited at a museum in the City. I  can provide all of the details if you are interested.

I can pay a little, but would mostly be offering the video for your reel and photography. you can check out my website to get a sense of my aesthetic: www.juliasherman.com

Thank you so much for your time!
