Originally hailing from France the Ex gymnast and theatre artist Jo arrived in New Zealand 9 years ago, and instantly fell in love with the surroundings and people of Northland. Now relocated in Auckland since a year, Jo based himself in Dargaville, spending his days working for Circus Kumarani Aotearoa’s Community circus, teaching the arts of circus from Ground based skills to Aerial Artistry, to all ages and abilities, from beginners to advanced.
In 2011 while traveling to America with his brother, Jo learned about the art of Cyr Wheel and found a new passion, adding this to his long list of skills. Upon returning to New Zealand Jo and his brother formed the company Spinnovation NZ and continue to share their love of circus with others.
In 2015 Jo went to Melbourne teaching and studying more about circus art and Cyr wheel at the Spin Academy and NICA.
Over the years Jo has performed at many corporate events, circus shows, music festivals and traveled all over NZ over on a regular basis teaching and performing many different skills (hand to hand, juggling, tumbling, fire...etc. ) as well as performing and teaching Cyr Wheel.
Jo is a man of many talents that you won’t want to miss.
Cyr Wheel
Be hypnotised by the art of cyr!
A giant metal ring where the performer stands inside and grasps its rim, causing it to roll and spin gyroscopically, while performing acrobatic moves in and around the rotating wheel.
Still a very new apparatus that not many people have seen yet, so be the first to put it out there!
