Acrobat and flipper, Michelle aka Mish Mash grew up in Carrickfergus and got her skills in acrobatics by running from the cops during the weekly riots. She then trained at Flic circus school in Italy, specialising in doing flips and climbing on people. She co-founded and toured with Woven Circus Collective, and is currently a member of Siolta Circus and has toured the UK, Ireland and Europe with their show Seeds. Recently she co-created new show Snatch and Grab – a DIY punk circus show, as one half of female duo Snatch Circus. She aims to use performance to bring awareness to issues and leave the audience questioning the ‘status quo’.
