Sue Fee
Sue Fee delivers our workshops, works at the office
on entertainment enquiries and performs on stilts and in the air.
Sue writes: I have been involved with circus since travelling the
world in 2000. My first performances were as a living statue and
as a fire spinner in Australia. When I returned to the UK I joined
Greentop Circus' "Circus in Performance" course where I learnt stilt
walking, wire walking, trapeze, acrobalance and manipulation. This
course culminated in a show where I walked on the tightwire, performed
trapeze and acrobalance. Since then I have concentrated mainly on
stilt walking, costume making, aerial performance and teaching circus
skills. I have been self employed as a circus performer and tutor
since 2005. Recently I completed an HND in Fashion at the Sheffield
College and am enjoying using these skills in my costume making
whenever I can! I currently work as a tutor, performer and costume
maker for Swamp Circus Trust Ltd, South Yorkshire. I am continuing
to practice and perform my aerial circus skills: silks, corde lisse,
static and swinging trapeze. Why? Because the world IS a better
place when you're upside down! Sue is at sue@swamptrust.org.uk
