Welcome to our blog



Welcome to our blog, the adventures of Circosis. We are Sarah and Cooky, circus artists who live in the heart of Australia, Alice Springs. The above picture is us on our trapeze rig in our backyard, whilst on a short film shoot for our full length theatre show "A Circus Affair."

We spend most of our time delivering social circus programs to remote indigenous communities in Central Australia and combined have spent over 20 years living and working on remote communities.

Our love affair with circus was discovered together over 8 years ago when were invited to be part of a local circus production, and since then we haven't looked back, travelling to NZ to train with the most lovable Russian circus trainers resulting in a Diploma of Circus Arts.

We both met in Alice Springs and developed a mutual love for travelling....and eventually... each other whilst wwoofing and walking in Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Holland, Belgium, Malaysia and Thailand in 2002.

Last year we bought our first house and, overwhelmed by the dump that it was, discovered some other loves outside of circus; ie Renovating. So in our spare time (ha!) we have transformed our place into a beautiful desert oasis and circus playground!

This year we are headin on a wild ride to Vegas to get hitched by a vertically challenged Elvis...then on to Costa Rica to volunteer in a social circus program.
So join us for the wonderful and wacky adventures of a couple of carnies/home renovators and enjoy the ride!!!
