Perth born Sarah Gray, began her career in a small rural town after her parents were encouraged to send her to the local dance school. She had a natural fondness of being upside down. During the years 2002-2013 she developed skills across a broad range of dance genres including Jazz, Classical Ballet, Lyrical/Contemporary and Tap, however her favourite was always Acrobatics.
In 2013 Sarah successfully auditioned for the National Institute of Circus Arts and spent the next three years honing her skills in Fixed Trapeze, Handstands, Contortion and Group Acrobatics. In 2016 she graduated with a Bachelor of Circus Arts and was awarded the top achieving NICA graduate for 2016, through Swinburne University.
During her studies, Sarah performed at Melbourne’s White Night as part of the Circus Circus Spectacular in 2016. Since graduating, she has been involved in several corporate events and performances including Circalicious Cabaret in Melbourne Fringe 2017 and the launch of B.Lucky & Sons Arcade Bar, Melbourne.
2018 saw Sarah be cast as an ensemble member in two separate contemporary circus companies. The first being Tons of Sense in their site-specific, premiere performance work titled Stand Here. She was also part of By A Thread by One Fell Swoop Circus performing in the Hawkes Bay Arts Festival, New Zealand.
In 2019, Sarah made her debut Musical Theatre appearance in the Melbourne production of Barnum: The Circus Musical as an ensemble circus performer. This role involved performing many of the circus elements in the show, as well as singing, dancing and acting.
"I am a firm believer that circus is about family. Others’ happiness is the driving force of my own satisfaction. I’m the friend that you come to before a show and ask to help with fixing your costume. I am compassionate, as well as passionate. I pride myself on always being on top of things. I am humble, but proud of what I can do. I am shy, but I’m confident onstage. There is so much more to me than a just cute little girl."
