Mixing Silliness, Smiles and Circus to Entice and Entertain Audiences of all Ages.
Born in Germany, raised in France, landed in Wales, I ran away from a career in politics to join the circus because I thought it might change the world just a little bit quicker. As a solo artist I work under the name Pretzel Performing Arts. An example of my solo work is my one woman street show Purple Punch, a family friendly circle show with a wrestling match made up of my volunteers and acrobatics on a 14 feet lollipop lyra.
Purple Punch
A one woman circle show that will take you from a daring tea party to a gripping wrestling match and culminate in a thrilling acrobatic finale. With the competitors carefully selected and an audience roaring for more, get ready for the final wrestling match of the season!
I also work in collaboration with North Walian artist Daisy Williams under the name Slap N Dash Productions. Our absurd walkabout Wattle & Daub was a 2024 Articulture commission and we are very excited to tour again in 2025. But beware, two beautician babes on a mission are not a force to be reckoned with.
Slap N’ Dash Productions
An emerging company based in North Wales formed by two power babes Daisy Williams & Paula Renzel. Both with a background in politics and a love for the absurd, their work can be simply taken playfully, or spark deeper conversations if you so wish.
About Wattle & Daub
Two beautician babes on a mission to embellish just about anyone they can get their hands on. They are wanna-be dodgy dealers with a big heart, loveable bad crooks. With an absurd take on today’s beauty industry, the pair will waltz around offering unsuspecting ‘volunteers’ a short escape from reality in their makeshift roadside salon, from which they sell their dodgy wares.
