Petra Massey

Petra Massey (born 1966 in England) is a British actress, and a physical theatre performer in stage, film and television. Petra is best known on British television playing the "enhanced human" Sandstrom in two series of the BBC Sci-Fi comedy series "Hyperdrive", the second series of which aired in 2007.

Petra studied a BA (Hons) in Performing Arts at Middlesex University. Trained with Philippe Gaulier and John Wright in London.

Petra has traveled the world performing both her street show and solo theatre show "Panic". On return she joined stunt theatre/pyrotechnic company KKG in Switzerland and regularly somersaulted off motorbikes, dangled from 60ft cranes and was once shot from a fire-fuelled pond in a shopping trolley. There she met her Spanish, German and English cohorts and founded the physical theatre company Spymonkey, creating both "Stiff" and "Cooped".

Petra was reviewed as "Lucille Ball" trapped in the body of Russian gymnast". She returned from a three year contract performing at the New York-New York Hotel & Casino Las Vegas with Spymonkey in Cirque Du Soleil's erotic cabaret "Zumanity".

Spymonkey are:
*Aitor Basauri, performer and artistic director
*Petra Massey, performer and artistic director
*Toby Park, performer and artistic director
*Stephan Kreiss, associate performer
*Cal McCrystal, writer/director.
