Chris Carlos
B. Circus Arts, NICA
Starting his career as a fire performer, Chris’ obsession quickly transformed him into an internationally acclaimed performer and teacher. After many years performing, creating, and traveling in the fire spinning community, his desire to try everything and be the best at it took over and he branched out into other circus disciplines. The creative and highly skilled fire spinning acts he devised granted him an acceptance into the National Institute of Circus Arts (NICA) in 2009.
For three years he trained Adagio, Comedy Acrobatics, and Russian Bar all while performing fire on the side. In January 2010 Chris organised and ran the first annual fire spinning festival, Melbourne Spin Festival, now in it's 6th year. During the Melbourne Fringe Festival in 2011 Chris created, devised, refined, and performed the first Three High Acrobatics Stage Show 'Knock Off'. The show was a spectacular hit and has toured nationally and internationally since. In December 2011 Chris graduated from NICA with a Bachelor of Circus Arts. Three High Acrobatics was also gifted and additional award by Circus Oz for embodying the spirit of collaboration in circus.
In 2013 Chris turned aspirations into reality and created 'Spin Circus Academy', a training school for aspiring circus performers. This full time adult circus training course runs quarterly and attracts national and international students to train under Chris and his team's acclaimed coaching methods. Skill sets and specialties include Acrobatics, Adagio, Handstands, Aerials, Flying Trapeze, Contortion, Act Creation and more.
