CIRQUESANITY BIOGRAPHY

  Rewi and Tina met through the circus community in Los Angeles California in 2013. They immediately grew fond of each others and their mutual upsession for the circus arts unified them! They knew that they wanted to seek collaboration in creating performances and shows together. Tina travelled to New Zealand in January 2014 where they trained together for about 3 months. They discovered that together their diverse and multi-disciplinary skill set could create a Big Top Circus with just the two of them combined…Or something close to it. 
  Their friendship shortly after took off as romance. Both in their arts and in their love for one another. Creating individual acts together and having a long term international relationship meant plane hopping to and from the USA, New Zealand and Europe. They  knew what they had was special both in creation and in this world. Between May 2015 and October 2017 they married and Rewi settled down in the USA as a home based with his new partner and wife and now they share a life devoted to creation of immersive, inspiring and thrilling circus experiences.
