The Tutors
The Circus School's Director is Jackie Welbourne, the UK's highest achieving physical circus artiste to date having won major prizes at the top international circus festivals held in Paris & Monte-Carlo; and formerly starring as an aerialist with leading international companies like Cirque du Soleil.
 
Head of Acrobatics is Guo Tao, from Tianjin Acrobatic Troupe, who has been working for Circus Maniacs for over 5 years.
Tao is a distinguished performer, winning a Golden Lion award in 2000 at China's top acrobatic festival held every 4 years.
He brings with him a lot of new (non-western) skills and techniques.
 
Many of the Circus School tutors are professional performers who either teach part-time or are guest tutors.
This helps to keep ideas and techniques fresh for our students, particularly for those who have enrolled for Professional Training and/or Act Development.
