 The  Runaway Circus

the runaway circus Bios  -- In progress. . . . . . .  

Britt

Picture





Sometimes called Cupcake. 
Born in Oklahoma, raised  by armadillos, leaving him with a thick
skin and a thirst for prairie winds.   Britt has been performing with the Runaway Circus since the summer of 2008.   Loves the sousaphone and anything that's willing to encapsulate.  Also a big fan  of juggling, object manipulation and balancing.  Greatest weakness is homemade 
Kool aid popsicles.  Biggest fear, 9.8m/s2.

Michelle was raised by wolves and learned to sing harmony howling at the moon.  Once she realized that she was actually a human, she picked up the banjolele, clarinet, fiddle and guitar and started playin like crazy.   Sometimes she gets fed up with civilization and disappears for long periods of time, and we can only assume she’s gone home to reconvene with her pack.   She must miss people though,  because she always comes back…..

A bookseller with a penchant for circus, Patrick's abilities are inscrutable. From playing drums, accordion, and euphonium to juggling, acrobatics, and a recent foray as an extremely amateur contortionist, pinning him down to one thing would be next to impossible.

Sparrow mistook her mother’s statement that she could be anything she wanted to be to mean she could be everything she wanted to be.   Somehow, she ended up picking up an absurd assortment of instruments such as the accordion, viola, banjo, and saw. She ran away with the Runaway Circus, performing feats of acrobatics, tap and belly dancing, and leading the big circus band.  She performs with Baraka Mundi, the bandit queens of belly dance, and teaches weekly classes.  In her free time she is a mom, partner, and part time farmer.  For money, she slings veggie burgers at the local late night vegan joint.   In spite of all of these things, she still managed to find the time to write her own bio.
