Krin Maren Haglund works with many of today's most exciting circus and cabaret troupes. She is currently performing Cyr wheel and aerial silks with the Cirque du Soleil show "Le Réveil du Serpent” at Expo 2008 in Zaragoza, Spain. She is an original cast member of Cirque Eloize's "Rain," which performed to sold-out crowds around the world, including New York, Paris, Moscow, and Seoul. At Eloize, Krin became the first woman to perform on the Cyr wheel and won acclaim as "Rain's deft comedienne."

Recently performing with the hot Aussie-based cabaret, "La Clique," her silks routine was praised as "dynamic, expressive and original." Haglund was recognized for lampooning the "ridiculous stereotypes that define femininity." In spring 2008, she performed trapeze and sang as the lonely secretary in the hit Les 7 Doigts de la Main cabaret, "La Vie." Krin also often performs with the rock band The Dresden Dolls, sometimes as the Mistress of Ceremonies. Look for her on their new DVD "Live at the Roundhouse." Krin is also featured at events and galas for corporations including Microsoft, Kia, & Eli Lilly.

After graduating from Smith College, Krin attended the Clown Conservatory in San Francisco, trained aerial and classical circus arts at the Circus Center, and performed with the New Pickle Circus for two seasons. Krin grew up in Madison, Wisconsin.

Krin is available to perform in cabarets, corporate events and theatrical shows. She is fluent in Japanese. Her French is mieux en mieux and speaks ein bissen German.
