Michael McDonald

Hailing from the south coast of NSW, Michael basically grew up on the beach. He soon realised he might need a land-based hobby, and found circus as a teenager at local after school classes. He continued training while studying fine arts at uni, where he realised he wanted to be a full time circus artist. He then made the move from the South Coast to Melbourne to train full time at NICA.

Michael is a dynamic and diverse performer, specialising in Dance Trapeze, Chinese Pole and Group Acrobatics, and has performed in a variety of cabarets and group performances, including four NICA ensemble shows, 'In Place' by Na Djinang, 'Eclipse' by CircusWA as well as being a co-creator of ‘Sunday Cup of Absurdi-Tea’.
