Circus & Physical Theatre

Presented by Tumble Circus

Gluttony - Excess Theatre

Nominated Best Circus Show 2011. The human side of circus. No fanfare or sequins, just the extraordinary skill and passion of two carnies on a lifelong adventure through the trials and tribulations of life and relationships, how they fall, land and survive. 'Original and clever' - Advertiser

Ireland’s dynamic acrobatic duo, Ken Fanning and Tina Segner, return to Adelaide for a third and final Fringe season.

First performed in Adelaide in 2010, and still going strong with seasons all over Europe and the UK, as well as repeat visits to Australia, This is what we do for a living re-enacts the roller coaster history of Ken and Tina’s real life relationship since meeting in Dublin in the 1990s, presented live on stage through extreme circus skill. Featuring flying hula-hoops, slapstick acrobatics, stunning corde lisse (aerial rope) and daring double trapeze, Tina (talented blonde bombshell originally from Sweden) and Ken (endearing Irish funny man) bring you pure, powerful circus; with no sequins, fanfare or fairy floss.

This is what we do for a living explores how relationships can fall apart, how they land on their feet, and how they survive. Peeling back the canvas, Tumble Circus will show you the human side of circus and the extraordinary abilities of two acrobats on a lifelong adventure. Nominated Best Circus, Adelaide Fringe 2011

LinkAdelaide Podcast (click here): As Ireland's Tumble Circus make a joyful (and final) return to the Adelaide Fringe with their show This Is What We Do For A Living, we spoke to Ken about the show, what's next for Tumble Circus, and about being mistaken for Tina's (the other performer in the show) real life husband.
