Michael Ling
Michael is a wire-walker, acrobat, clown, juggler, trumpeter and sometime percussionist with Circus Oz. At the age of ten, Michael was a founding member of the Flying Fruit Fly Circus, with whom he trained and toured extensively. Michael spent the spare time of his formative years perfecting the art of walking over tables and countless other objects on his hands. Michael joined Circus Oz in 1987, performing with the company for two years before going freelance for gigs with the French circus Archaos and others. Touring with Circus Oz has taken Michael to every corner of Australia, and overseas on numerous occasions, visiting every continent except Africa (and Antarctica). Michael has been doing circus for so long he is sometimes terrified by the prospect of having to run away and join the real world…
