About Gracie Marshall
Gracie started circus at the age of 16 when she left her home in Ireland to join the National Circus Center of London youth program. After graduating and realising she wanted to specialise in hula hoops, she set in search of the best teachers: Spin Circus Academy, Melbourne for circus hoops, Beijing International Circus School, China, for handstand hoops, and Raw art summer school, Ukraine for hoop juggling. She mixes all these techniques together to create her own little hula hoop salad performance style. Her goal is to captivate audiences by the sheer artistry of what can be done with a hula hoop.
She has worked as an ensemble member for No fit state circus (SABOTAGE) for the last 4 years as well as other contemporary circus companies such as Circus Jukebox(Ireland), Lucent Dossier experience(USA), and Hopscotch Circus (BE). She created duo Gracie&Antonio, fusing hula hoops, movement and acrobatics, which was part of Roundabout Europe 2021 & premiered in the world-renowned Teatro Circo Price (ES).
