Vanessa McGregor began her artistic career in dance but was quickly lured to the beautiful world of circus when she discovered her love for more extreme physical challenges. She successfully completed Swinburne’s three-year full time Bachelor of Circus Arts program in 2011, where she trained in a wide range of aerial and ground based skills. Since leaving NICA Vanessa has worked professionally for well-known companies including CIRCA & P&O Cruise Lines. She was also a participant in the Circus Oz “Strongwomen’s Project” in 2015. Vanessa is a passionate performer and strives to create work that speaks to people on multiple levels. Circus is not just a past time it is a way of life.
