Katy Kartwheel is a fun, gritty, earthy and traditional circus performer based in Buckinghamshire, near Berkshire. Katy's passion for circus has created a multi-skilled artistry ... her circus journey began with Zippo's Circus aged 17 up in the big top on aerial hexagon and walking the wire, and since she has mastered several aerial disciplines (aerial hoop, net, rope, silks, solo trapeze, doubles trapeze, flying trapeze). Whilst many tricks are transferable from one piece of equipment to another, Katy has literally become inspired by each piece in turn, seeking to learn from the best. Katy has honed her fire and acrobatic skills whilst performing with top circus companies (Aircraft Circus, Gorilla Circus, Upswing) and she has tirelessly travelled to collaborate with other circus artists, because that is where she feels most at home. Katy became locally known as the 'hula hoop girl' before her children's entertainment and event entertainment created the term 'Marlow's Circus performer'. Katy's experience with the Star Wars Creature Department brings character body work into her performance. If you are doing a Greatest Showman themed event, or circus themed event then look no further for entertainment in Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Bucks or Reading.
