What are your special skills? I do multiple circus disciplines, ranging from doing backflips in the air off a giant see-saw to balancing on my head on a swinging trapeze.
Why should people come to your show? Our show is a unique blend of acrobatics and comedy, with a great narrative. It represents a new kind of circus, with proper storytelling combined with world-class circus acts.
Why did you first decide to get involved in circus? I was attracted to the circus world through break-dancing. I was in love with the training lifestyle and decided to attend the National Institute of Circus Arts where I attained a Bachelor degree. This gave me the skills to create my own show.
What's your pre-show ritual? We like to make constant small changes to our show, to make it tighter and keep it fresh. There are a lot of little rehearsals of changes, but also we warm up a lot. We do lots of conditioning and stretches to ensure we don't get injured.
When and where is your next round of shows? In Sydney of course! For the Sydney Fringe Festival. You can catch us at the Seymour Centre, Reginald Theatre, 15—19 Sep from 7pm every night.
