Stunt Performer | Actor | Action Designer | Choreographer

Kayley Carrigan (born Kaira Venus Ebora Capito) is a Filipino stunt performer, actor, and action designer known for her dynamic physicality and powerful screen presence. With a foundation in dance and a career built on discipline, versatility, and fearlessness, she has become one of the Philippines’ most recognized female stunt artists in film and television.

Born in Manila, Philippines, Kayley began her artistic journey as a dancer, training and performing throughout her school years before earning a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology. Her background in movement, rhythm, and choreography became the foundation of her transition into stunt work.

Her entry into the action industry began in 2015 after being discovered by a veteran stunt director who recognized her athletic potential. Through intensive training in cinematic combat, falls, wire work, and weapons handling, she quickly established herself as a reliable and skilled performer in high-intensity productions.

Film & Television Highlights

Kayley has contributed to numerous major Filipino films and television series, performing as a stunt double, fight performer, and on-screen character. Her credits include:

  • BuyBust
  • Maria
  • Topakk (as Cora and stunt double)
  • Shake, Rattle & Roll installments
  • Encantadia
  • Voltes V: Legacy
  • FPJ’s Batang Quiapo
  • Mars Ravelo’s Darna

Her work in Topakk was part of a production screened at international festivals including Cannes and Locarno, further showcasing her presence in globally recognized action cinema.

Action Design & Choreography

Beyond performance, Kayley is deeply involved behind the scenes. She co-founded Elite Action Design, an action choreography and stunt coordination team dedicated to elevating fight design and cinematic movement in Philippine entertainment.

She has served as stunt choreographer and action designer for live performances, music videos, and television productions — bringing precision, storytelling, and safety into every sequence.

Wrestling & Creative Pursuits

Expanding her physical storytelling into live performance, Kayley trained and competed in professional wrestling under the ring persona Jorelle Liwanag with the Manila Wrestling Federation.

She is also a music producer, having released electronic and lo-fi tracks under different monikers — blending rhythm and atmosphere with the same creativity she brings to action design.

Kayley is committed to pushing the boundaries of action performance in the Philippines, advocating for stronger representation of women in stunt work, and continuously refining the craft of cinematic combat. Her work combines artistry, athleticism, and storytelling — creating action that is not only impactful, but meaningful.
