Has performed and taught since
her days as a competitive gymnast. Her
acrobatic and aerial skills have taken her to
venues throughout Europe,
Australia and Japan.
After years performing trapeze, she decided to
concentrate further on
acrobalance by studying at the French National
Circus School. On return in
search of vibrant places to train, she arrived
in Bristol and was quickly
taken on as head acrobatic tutor at Circomedia
teaching the rising stars of
the future.
As a performer and tutor she continues to explore
new ways of presenting
acrobatics to people using comedy, theatre, and
dance.
Richard is
a professional acrobat and trapeze artist. He
currently teaches and runs the Flying Trapeze
Club at Circomedia, Centre for Physical Theatre
and Circus in Bristol, UK.
He has been a circus, cabaret and street theatre
performer since 1988, performing mainly in the
UK but also throughout Europe, Australia and
Japan. He began his career by juggling, escaping
from straight-jackets, lying on glass, having
concrete slabs broken over his belly, breathing
fire and riding an eight foot unicycle.
Studying Ashtanga Yoga with Patahbhi Jois in
India in 1993 was a huge influence and there
soon followed some serious training in acrobatics
and Flying trapeze at The Circus here.
