Our Stilt Performers

Lindsay Soltice is an Edmonton-born stilt performer who has been stiltwalking for NSC since 2017– performing all across Alberta at corporate events, seasonal celebrations, and festivals such as the Edmonton Folk Music Festival. As their main profession, they work as a nurse at the Royal Alexandra Hospital and care for patients sick with coronavirus during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Lindsay is also a Board Member at the NSC.

CJ Pirtle is an 18-year-old actor/performer from Sturgeon County, Alberta. They graduated from Victoria School of the Arts in 2020 and are now enrolled at NAIT for radio and television broadcasting. CJ has always had a passion for learning new things and new ways to perform, so stiltwalking was a perfect opportunity to do both. CJ is very new to NSC, as they joined in July 2021, the newest addition to the team.

Jayne has over a decade of experience as a stilt performer with the National Stiltwalkers of Canada (NSC), and after serving several years as a board member, she is the current President of the NSC board. Previously, she trained in and assistant-coached various Aerial Arts, trampoline and prop manipulation at the Atlantic Cirque School of Circus Arts in Halifax. Jayne recently completed her studies in Biological Sciences and Psychology at the University of Alberta, and nowadays mostly finds herself juggling multiple jobs and responsibilities instead of balls and clubs! She is excited to share her love of stiltwalking with a new generation of NSC artists and looks forward to keeping you and your family perpetually entertained. In addition to serving as the President, Jayne is a performer with the NSC.
