About Me

Hello, I am a professional circus artist of 20 years, I have performed at venues such as: The Barbican, Stockholm Opera House, and Milan Fashion Week. However now tired, I am currently writing a book exploring the history and culture of fairgrounds, with a focus on celebrating the rich heritage of Hampshire’s Showmen and Romany Gypsies – to challenge negative stereotypes and promote greater understanding.

I am interested in running workshops with the Travelling communities, both to honour their rich heritage and to engage those who wish to learn more about these vibrant cultures.

I have skills in:
Storytelling/giving talks on my heritage & circus
Producing
Circus and performing arts
Costume making / Sewing
Mentoring
Education (non-formal)
