Beginning his performance life as a gymnast, Shannon has moved through a huge range of circus skills during the 15 years he has been performing. These skills include double and solo trapeze, hand to hand acrobatics, solo and double straps, fire manipulation, Chinese poles and clowning.

He has performed all over Australia including shows with THE ROBINSON’S FAMILY CIRCUS in Perth and Canberra, 12 months on tour with Circus Royale in 2006, shows as part of The Melbourne Festival, The Adelaide Fringe and The SydneyGay and Lesbian Mardi Gras as well as corporate shows in most Australian Capitals. Internationally he has performed in The USA, Taiwan, Japan, Turkey and China.

His current projects include CIRCUS TRICK TEASE, which is a small circus company based in Melbourne that parodies a traditional circus. The show includes acrobatics, handstands, feats of strength, singing and dancing. He also has a children’s show called SHAGGLESMAGIC CIRCUS WORLD which draws on all of Shannon’s skills and experience to create a circus wherever it goes.

Shannon is also a registered nurse..
