Gabriella Kriss

Gabriella Kriss was born in Budapest, Hungary, where she spent all her years as a child model. By the age of 1 month she was a cover girl, and graced the pages and covers of many children's, parenting, and teacher's magazines for the following decade. She moved to Canada with her family at the age of 10 and started performing in film and theatre in 2000. A few years later, she fell in love with circus arts and enrolled in circus school in 2003. Just 1 short year later, Gabriella packed her bags and ran away to New York City to join a traveling circus and toured with Circus of the Kids for the next 3 years as an aerialist, fire eater, and trick roller skater, choreographing several of their aerial acts. Switching direction in 2008, Gabriella was cast as a magician's assistant and dancer with Abracadabra Show Productions and seasonally toured western and northern Canada with them until 2013, earning herself the position of top assistant and dance captain as well as performing as a puppeteer and several costumed characters with the company. Gabriella also performs as a clown and a mascot at many local children's events. Gabriella and Taylor Renforth are proud parents of identical twin boys Tas (pronounced "Tosh") and Hart Renforth.
