WORK IN PROGRESS...

Hi there,

I am an acrobatic generalist flyer (with lots of experience middling and basing). I began my acrobatic career at the age of 7 with Men's Artistic Gymnastics, arriving at the point that the last few years of this sport had me in the Australian Olympic Training Programme, (Homebush, NSW). At 16, I discovered that there was a rather new course being offered by the National Institute of Circus Arts (NICA) in Melbourne and I was immediately drawn to the possibilities of what the circus life has to offer. I trained in the course from 2003-2005, working hard and learning as much as I could from the myriad, multi-skilled trainers that I was lucky to meet in my early years.

I spent these years honing my acrobatic skills, learning stage craft, practicing and failing, again and again... 

I love creating. Being amongst a group of people with skills to share and create something is where I thrive.
