Split Second Company
ABOUT US
The company Split Second plays at the intersection of circus and dance to explore human relationships on stage. Founded in 2018 by twins Aviva & Molly Rose-Williams, we initially started working together as an excuse to hang out more. Since then, we have created three full-length shows, and have performed in theaters, tents, parks, and parking lots across the US and Europe. Our work has also been honored with awards by Theater Bay Area and the Isadora Duncan Dance Awards. Our creation process is driven by a passion for physical research, and a dedication to exploring genuine emotional questions.
Aviva Rose-Williams
Aviva was born first.
She started training in Chinese acrobatics at age 8, and continued all the way through the professional training program at Ecole du Cirque de Quebec, where she graduated with a specialty in Chinese pole. She is the co-founder of circus collective Collectif A Sens Unique, and has performed with the collective, solo, and with many other companies throughout the Europe and beyond.
